Practice Management

Administrators at small practices know there’s nothing small about tracking business performance and results. All that’s required is managing the front office, the back office, and all the offices in between…in other words, the whole office, the whole practice. In fact, Practice Management is a difficult balancing act…juggling schedules and resources to find the right mix that leads to smooth operations and business success. Manage the practice, or it will manage you.

Allscripts MyWay Practice Management makes it easier. One cornerstone component of an integrated application solution that spans the business, clinical and financial sides of your practice.

Practice Management Features

  • Scheduling
    Allocate precious resources – physicians, nurses, exam rooms, equipment, and time – to make the most of each day. Be flexible enough to handle cancellations, blocked times, emergency visits, and waiting lists with equal ease. With an intuitive interface, color-coding, overbooking protection, location tracking, and information access by everyone in the practice, you’ve got the necessary tools to be in control of appointments and schedules.
  • Patient Demographics
    Build complete, thorough patient records that capture all the key details - background and demographic entries; information on contacts, employment, insurance, and responsible parties; visual records from scanned documents. Now, integrate it all into one comprehensive profile of the patient that can be tied to the clinical and accounting sides of your business.
  • Accounting
    Based on clinical coding and services performed, you can capture charges and perform billing entries almost immediately. Automate capitation and contractual adjustments to keep charge entries and accounts receivable accurate. And build a complete audit trail to safeguard the financial side of your practice. Throughout the entire accounting cycle and process, you’ve got complete and secure control to manage every charge, transaction, referral, and change along the way.

Practice Management Benefits

  • It's all about choice, and costs, and IT expertise.
    The Allscripts MyWay hosted service–means no infrastructure equipment, no IT staff. You can pay as you go for the application services you need. The on-premise version can leverage existing equipment and the technical skills of your staff. Having options is always good; pick the right approach for your practice.
  • Going paperless delivers more than just workflow benefits.
    Cut the supply budget for files, forms, and folders. Maybe it’s time to convert the file room into another exam room.
  • One integrated application with one shared database.
    It’s easy for everyone in the practice to find and access the information they need, when they need it. No duplicate data entries, no missing files. Stay on task and drive efficiency to new levels.
  • Time efficient scheduling.
    Search schedules and create appointment calendars that balance and maximize time for both providers and patients.
  • Build the electronic patient picture.
    Capture all the demographic, insurance, billing, account alignments, and scanned documents you need for a complete profile.
  • Steamlined coding and error-checking.
    Give physicians an easy way to code (and charge) accurately, with a built-in audit trail and code-checking before you file.
  • Co-payment and coverage levels.
    Automatically highlight and collect accurate co-payment during patient visits; and use demographics to adjust for primary and secondary coverage levels.
  • HIPPA-compliance
    Compile accurate HIPAA-compliant bills that you submit and track electronically. Simpler and more efficient to file, and faster payments as a result.
  • Productivity reporting tools.
    Pull performance and financial reports that highlight detailed information about staff productivity, collections, aging and denied claims, patient accounts, and whatever you need to measure business results.
