New Feature Highlights from 15.1
Order & Charge From NoteForms
- Huge potential value to organizations, providers, and revenue cycle. Providers could see a decrease in approx. 40-50 clicks per patient. Revenue cycle will be more streamlined as it will alleviate concerns of documentation requirements from coding/billing.
- Developing a plan to adopt this functionality will likely require specialty-based change management where providers and administration will agree with gaps in ordering and charging.
Text Macros
- A huge win for providers where they can build their own text macros for common phrases. This feature has made other leading EHRs very popular.
- Groups will need develop proper protocols for using macros (versus structured data), training materials, and set the proper expectations from within IT for supporting and managing macros
NoteForm & Vitals Required Fields
- A major enhancement that will assist with revenue cycle and compliance where NoteForm elements and vitals can be configured as required. Example usage, a large multi-specialty organization's compliance department requires providers to review all patient histories with a checkbox acknowledgement. Prior to the required field functionality, many providers would overlook this checkbox creating a lag in note finalization and revenue cycle.
- Note Template modifications require a lot of thought, physician management, and build/configuration that will likely need to be deployed post-upgrade.
