As we make the change from Meaningful Use/PQRS to MACRA and Value Based Care, it is more important than ever that we embrace the term Patient Engagement. The requirement of patient engagement is not going to go away, so why not make things easier on yourself, your staff, and your patients! To accommodate the ever-changing patient engagement requirements, you’re going to have to find the best tools available to assist and benefit both your practice and your patients.
Online patient portals and Cloud-Based EMR are quickly becoming everyone’s go-to solution for patient engagement. They enable your practice to eliminate the most time-consuming tasks and duties by allowing patients to complete intake forms, fill out medical history, request and schedule appointments and even pay their outstanding bills. Portals also allow for a much more stress free environment in the waiting room and ease the workflow for the staff in the office!
