Improved Quality of Life - Solutions

Whether you've decided to go electronic or you're just on the fence we can help. From start to finish it is our job to help you make the best decision.

It is absolutely vital to develop a Needs Analysis of your practice before moving forward. It is easy to decide to get an EMR and go with the most popular or highest rated EMR but not all EMR's are created equal. Some EMR's are amazing applications with all the bells and whistles but may providers find themselves using systems that have 50% of what they need and 80% of what they don't. Going electronic starts internally with a holistic evaluation of each user and the practice as a whole.

Empower Med will consult with Key Personnel through a series of interviews and questionnaires to document the specific needs of the practice. We organize this information to further recommend the features that would create the greatest benefit to your practice and generate the greatest return with minimal down time. The RFP considers productivity, technology, and user adaptability.

Do you need a template-based system, voice recognition, or maybe a fully automated click and select system? What about electronic fax, prescription writing, patient portals, or health maintenance reminders? Will your billing system work with the new EMR? How about scheduling? There are many features to choose from and each system does it a different way. We can help streamline the process and help you choose the features that are best for your practice.

The terms set forth by EMR vendors vary widely but they are very negotiable. Unfortunately, many providers don't negotiate the most important parts of the contract. We can be very helpful in comparing contract terms and providing beneficial information on the terms that are negotiable. We don't replace your attorney but our insight into multiple contracts can be a great benefit.

Where, when, how do we get started? What modules should we start with? Should we try adopting all the features in an EMR or take it step by step? This is crucial to a successful implementation. We can help guide you based on your practice characteristics to success.

The hardware and software infrastructure in your practice is extremely important. Keeping up-to-date will become a larger issue as you become more technologically advanced. It is important to have a Technology Plan and to stick with it. Keeping your operating system, Ad ware, Spy Ware, Anti-virus, firewalls, are important to keep updated. Once you have a plan in place it makes things easier and safer for everyone. We can help you do this.
