Efficiently documenting clinical encounters and completing patient notes are a common source of frustration for providers using EHRs. The demands for more comprehensive documentation from insurers and new Meaningful Use Stage 2 requirements for structured data and notes require an advanced solution that lets providers work within the word processor, but also store structured data. 

Enabledoc helps customers through the meaningful use process both with automated measure tracking and displaying of results, guides, and answering any questions you have throughout the process to make sure you achieve the EHR incentive. Using Enabledoc EHR will allow your group to achieve the EHR incentive of $44,000 to $64,000 per provider. Physicians and Chiropractor’s are eligible for this EHR incentive.

Many confuse the American Recovery Act incentive program for Meaningful Use of a certified electronic health record system with the Affordable Health Care Act of America, which is being reviewed by the Supreme Court. Since 2003 there have been several Federal and some State laws and regulations that are already in effect and require the use of Electronic Healthcare Records and Prescriptions. These are required and many are confused that they are part of Obama Care.

For decades, practice Management Systems have been deployed by groups to manage their schedules, patient registration information, and claims. But with the advent of electronic health records, a change is underway to redefine practice management. Groups are realizing that having an efficient and well-managed business requires a management system that connects appointment schedules, patient registration, clinical documentation, medical coding and billing in one integrated workflow. The benefits of having one system are quite powerful for the following reasons:

According to Capsite's recent 2011 Ambulatory EHR and PMS study, 63% of 1,300 groups surveyed plan to replace their existing PMS with a EHR/PMS. This is primarily being driven by the federal incentives and the required switch to ICD10 diagnosis coding. Before you purchase any system, check out Enabledoc. We have the most advanced EHR and PMS features at a highly affordable price.
