Effective EHR software works to improve your workflow processes

Enhanced Functionality

The goal of EHR workflow redesign should be to simplify the work of providers and practice staff. That is why it has always been our goal to identify areas for improvement and determine solutions as soon as possible. Our way of dismantling any type of barrier within Intergy is to roll out software upgrades through the Intergy Transformation Plan, and the second upgrade of the plan that is coming is Intergy v12.55.

As the primary objective of the second release of the Intergy Transformation Plan, EHR workflow efficiency takes precedence. Today, an efficient EHR workflow solves various issues in relation to time management, patient confidentiality, and it also sets the stage for further 21st Century Cures Act compliance. We know that improving patient outcomes is at the core of your responsibilities as a healthcare provider, and for that reason, as healthcare IT developers, enhancing the functionality of your EHR software is a direct responsibility of ours.

With an enhanced workflow, clients will experience amplified functionality of their EHR and Practice Management software. These enhancements will not only assist in redesigning the workflow of your practice, but they will also save you a tremendous amount of time, allowing providers and practice staff to dedicate more of themselves to their patients. Furthermore, an enhancement of the functionality in which your practice works, also means that your patients will see an improvement in quality care provided, and their care coordination as well.

Problem Solving Issues

It is essential that our EHR software possess the functions necessary to improve clinical workflows at your healthcare practice. As an attempt to streamline clinical documentation improvement, we have derived a catalog of enhancements to solve workflow issues your practice may experience. The specific features available in the Intergy v12.55 upgrade will enhance workflow efficiency, save you time, and increase patient confidentiality measures. Provided below is a detailed list of each modification that can be found within Intergy’s EHR and Practice Management software as part of the second upgrade of the Intergy Transformation Plan.

Enhanced confidentiality measures is an important feature included in the latest upgrade because patients often share personal information with healthcare providers. UW Medicine claims that confidentiality is extremely important because it establishes a high level of trust among patients. Knowing that they can trust their provider encourages patients to seek care and to be honest during their visit.

Your EHR software should have confidentiality measures set in place that are in accordance with the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act of 1997 (HIPAA), as it is a requirement to have policies that protect the privacy of patients' EHR.

Boosting EHR workflow

By thoroughly analyzing and redesigning Intergy’s workflow capabilities, your practice will now be able to accomplish so much more. To boost the efficiency of how your practice functions from an EHR and Practice Management perspective, the overall organization of your workflow should be taken into examination. According to EHR Intelligence, EHR optimization is an integral part of leveraging the technology to improve clinical workflow.

However, from a broad point of view this Intergy upgrade consists of many features planned to assist your EHR workflow in being less complicated by allowing for fewer clicks and delivering more shortcuts (default filtering to active providers, ability to sign for multiple EPCS drugs, update patient flow tracking from respective patient banner).

As mentioned, efficient EHR workflows will also prepare your practice to be compliant with the approaching Cures Act regulations, especially in relation to patient confidentiality improvements. The Cures Act serves to give patients further access to their health records electronically which only makes sense considering we are now living in a digital world. However, ease of access to sensitive healthcare records means that providers must now juggle the tasks of remaining compliant with the new regulations, and mitigating the security risks these updates may impose on patient confidentiality.

Having said all this, we understand that the workflow of your EHR can be cumbersome, which is why we are implementing these crucial changes to Intergy to simplify the process for you. After all, spending less time inside of your EHR software means spending more time tending to the needs of your patients. These many changes are each going to ease the workflow of your practice and allow you to get the most value out of your EHR software by boosting your functionality and performance capabilities.
