The three basic elements to consider when building the foundation for a successful practice engaged in EMR are:
- INFORMATION OPERATING SYSTEMS: Hardware, Software, LAN, VPN, SSL,Data Storage & Data Backup
- ELECTRONIC PRACTICE MANAGEMENT (EPM): Back Office Systems, A/R, Collections, Scheduling & Billing
- ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS (EMR/EHR): Charting & Patient Records
HighPoint Medical’s answer to these 3 main elements begins with the latest in Information Technology.

INCREASED REVENUE
With today’s declining reimbursements, the ability to manage daily charges is imperative to the survival and profitability of medical practices. By reducing missed charges, denied claims, and improper ABN notices, practices can accomplish higher levels of revenue from patient encounters. |
  |
| |
MORE EFFICIENT ACCESS
Scanned documents are instantly accessible to providers and clinical staff. This information can be accessed from any location, 24 hours a day. Data can also be shared between practices and providers. Internal or external billing staff has access to scanned insurance cards, thus speeding A/R cycles. |
|
|
| |
IMPROVED PATIENT CARE
Having up to date and accurate information about each patient gives the provider the ability to make timely decisions. Automated alerts inform providers of potential unfavorable drug reactions and unsafe drug combinations, helping to avoid medical errors. |
|
|
| |
REDUCED ADMINISTRATION
Due to the improved efficiency of EMR software, it is easier to manage staff resources. Time saved by more effective access to patient data allows for more productive staff hours and costs. This can result in considerable financial savings to the practice. |
|
|
| |
REDUCED CALLBACKS
Clinical staff can use EMR software to gain instant access to charts with real-time information so they can provide accurate and timely answers to patients on the phone. |
|
|
| |
REDUCED EXPENSES
A comprehensive and integrated EMR software system drastically reduces the cost and need for supplies such as encounter forms, prescription pads, folders, labels, ink, and paper. |
|
|
| |
REPURPOSE STORAGE SPACE
Files and racks of charts that previously took up large amounts of space can now be stored within the confines of a few computers. By freeing up this space, many practices can repurpose the space for revenue-generating activities. Costly on-site storage areas can become additional exam, testing, or procedure rooms. |
|
|
| |
REDUCED INSURANCE PREMIUMS
Some malpractice insurers will lessen premiums by 5% or more for providers using approved EMR software. |
|
|
| |
IMPROVED INSURANCE RATES
An improvement in provider compliance with insurance company drug formularies, can pave the way for the practice to negotiate better reimbursement rates with major insurance carriers. |
|
|
| |
PATIENT TRENDS RESEARCH
Clinic staff can produce analyses for academic use, as well as for internal and external reporting. |
