Being a solo practitioner may mean being a healthcare professional while running a business. Tasks such as patient communication, payment collection, and scheduling appointments are all important for the clinic’s success but can take up a lot of your time that could be spent on treating patients.
Adding technology to your business can make your daily tasks easier and more efficient. Studies have shown that digital tools can help save time, stay organized, and help you manage your finances better. One great way to do this is by using an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system.
For solo practitioners who are balancing patient care and managing a business, this technology is especially beneficial. By automating everyday tasks, EMRs enable healthcare providers to focus more on what’s important: giving patients the best possible care and improving the quality of treatments.
At CCATCM, we’ve taught our students on how to effectively utilize EMR systems. This has assisted our students in handling patient records and supervising practice operations at CCATCM. EMRs have helped automate repetitive tasks, empowering students to reduce admin burdens and focus on patient care.
Students are now proficient in using the software to schedule appointments. The application provides a monthly overview of their schedules and enables them to view their daily patient treatments. The software has also taught students on how to process payments, adding patient transactions and history all in one place. This valuable experience at CCATCM has equipped students with the skills to easily manage payments when they begin their own practice!
Implementing an EMR system at CCATCM has had such a positive impact on the student’s learning experience, demonstrating the significance of updating and modernizing your practice. Equipping students with both clinical expertise and business knowledge is essential for preparing them to be successful business owners. That’s why we prioritize business development and provide our students with practical skills.
