A good occupational therapist can help patients bridge the gap between the difficulties they face and return to being healed & capable of basic daily functions once again. This is an excellent motivation, but are you using technology optimally to assist as many people as possible? This is one reason to invest in a focused EHR for Occupational therapy practices, rather than an ordinary product.
But how do you know you’re picking the real winner? We’ll help you with our simple guide below.
What Does Your Occupational Therapy Practice Need?
So how will technology optimize your day to day functioning?
The primary goal is to:
- Save time so you can get more done each day
- Limit effort so you and staff can stay focused
- Enhance your options of how your patients are treated, such as sharing information with others for second opinions
- Help you increase profit by managing bills easily
Yes, the right program will be the key to getting this right. But getting it wrong may lead to more frustration in your office. For starters, you must ensure your EHR supports tasks that relate to ALL you do (which not all other medical professional may deal with on a daily basis):
- Medical conditions and disability as a result of illness, surgery or harmful accidents
- Learning disabilities
- Mental health disorders
The general software may work for others, but not for you.
The good news is that there are many products out there that will suffice. Here are the particulars to look out for.
