Worsened Performance

Without an optimized EHR workflow, claims and other data will not move efficiently through the system and may lead to costly staff augmentation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our EHR Consulting Services

What Is Electronic Health Records (EHR) or Electronic Medical Records (EMR) Consulting?

Electronic health records (EHR) or electronic medical records (EMR) consultants work with healthcare organizations to optimize their existing or new electronic health record systems. These EMR experts help physicians and other healthcare personnel learn how to fully leverage the system’s functionality and ensure accuracy. EHR consulting also involves troubleshooting problems and recommending measures that promote compliance.

What Do Electronic Health Records (EHR) or Electronic Medical Records (EMR) Consultants Do?

EHR and EMR consultants are highly skilled professionals with extensive expertise in both healthcare and technology. They work closely with healthcare providers to understand their specific needs and goals, and then provide tailored solutions to help them meet their objectives.

Implementing EHR Systems

One of the main roles of EMR experts is to help healthcare systems successfully implement new EHR systems. EMR or EHR implementation involves designing and customizing the system to meet the organization’s unique requirements, as well as migrating data from existing systems.

Training and Support

EMR or EHR consultants also play a vital role in training healthcare personnel on how to effectively use the EHR system. This includes educating them on the system’s functionalities and best practices for data entry to ensure accurate and consistent documentation. They can also provide personalized training for each medical team staff member based on their individual job description.

Ensuring Compliance

EHR systems are subject to strict regulatory standards, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). EHR consultants help healthcare organizations ensure that their system complies with these regulations to protect patient privacy and security.

Benefits of Working with Electronic Health Records (EHR) or Electronic Medical Records (EMR) Consultants

Partnering with an electronic health records (EHR) or electronic medical record (EMR) consultant offers numerous benefits for health systems, including:

Expertise and experience: EHR or EMR consultants bring in-depth knowledge and experience in both healthcare and technology, making them valuable assets in implementing and optimizing EHR systems. With high stakes projects such as data migration during a move to a new EHR, consulting services can help organizations avoid costly mistakes.
Cost savings: Rather than hiring a full-time IT team to manage EHR systems, organizations can cut costs by working with external consultants who provide specialized services.
Increased efficiency: By optimizing EHR systems, consultants help healthcare organizations improve their workflow and streamline processes, leading to increased efficiency and productivity, contributing to a better patient experience.
Compliance and security: EMR or EHR consultants are well-versed in regulatory standards and can ensure that the system meets all compliance requirements, reducing the risk of penalties or breaches.

What Do EHR Consulting Companies Do?

The EHR consulting company dispatches an EHR or EMR consultant to carry out project management for clients. Lending their technical expertise, consultants digitalize medical practices, simplify EHR workflows, and reduce clicks to make tasks more efficient and less error prone. EHR consultants also help providers improve patient outcomes, reduce overhead costs, and increase staff satisfaction and retention with comprehensive operational consultation.

How Can I Improve My EHR System?

Customization based on staff feedback to streamline workflows, reduce clicks, and eliminate redundancies can make a significant difference in operational efficiency and user satisfaction. An experienced EHR consultant can help you identify issues, ascertain your requirements, and offer tailor-made workflows and customizations, such as documentation tools, personalized templates, order sets, and macros. They also can provide user training for optimal performance.

What Are the Main Goals of EMR User Training?

The main goal of EMR user training is to equip medical staff to use the EMR system more effectively. Additional objectives include:

Understanding the technology: This is the most important aspect of the training. EHR users benefit most from understanding how to navigate the software and the technological tools in use.
Following best practices and workflows: EMR training provides staff with a clear understanding of workflows to follow when documenting care.
Improving patient outcomes: A well-trained staff that can accurately document care, medications, and clinical information can improve patient outcomes.
