It comes as no surprise that the medical industry is becoming digitized every day. Thanks to all the new CPT updates, ICD codes, and other coding trends that are making a way to revolutionize the entire realm. EMR/EHR coding has also transformed the way patient records are collected, recorded, and processed.

When it comes to EMR/EHR coding, the size of the entire market will grow at a CAGR (Compound Annual Groth Rate) of 10.9% and increase from $70 billion to $120 billion, by the end of 2023. As a part of the Health HITECH Act of 2009, the federal government has also allocated $25.9 billion for encouraging certified providers.

Appropriate Standards and Protocols

Some of the must follow protocols for an EMR/EHR Coding system include Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes, ICD-9/ICD-10 codes, and the Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC) standards.

Make sure you leverage electronic medical and health records in compliance with all the industry’s regulations.

Must-Have Smooth Interface and Integrations

While you plan to implement Electronic Medical Records solution, consider the two most common points of integration including-

Billing System:

              The billing system integration is essential for improving the efficiency of the front desk’s staff and offering better patient services. As you will add the patient files in the system, the data will be matched, and your billing process will streamline automatically.

With this integration, you will have more time on patient care rather than spending it on operational processes.

Hospital Information System (HIS):

                  This information system comes to your rescue if your practice is a part of large institutional networks.

Have a Patient and Medical History Page:

The patient page contains an individual’s data, including age name, gender, current medications, allergies, and other data that gives an overview of one’s health. On the other hand, medical history keeps track of a patient’s medical history, such as illnesses, treatments, contradictions.

Both of these features allow the patient diagnosis on time and keeps you updated on the patient’s health progress.
