The biggest cost for an EMR implementation after the initial
cost is the loss of revenue. It has become increasingly apparent that the costs
associated with an EMR include a big loss of revenue as they make the clinician
the data entry person. In essence, the
clinic will see a loss of revenue they can not recover as the person who
generates revenue via patient visits is tied to a computer filling out
templates and "automated" charts.
The average clinician would take 1-2 minutes to dictate a
typical encounter via a phone or hand held recorder. Now the average is 7-12
minutes per encounter. The clinician does not want work longer hours and they
are forced to chart after each encounter. This is a tangible loss of time to
see patients and that leads to a direct loss of revenue. Add in the on going
maintenance cost of having this time consuming process in your practice and you
have a recipe for disaster.
That said - EMR's are here to stay, we can not just
disregard the good things they bring to patient care. However, you can make the
system work smarter for your clinician and the clinics bottom line. Integration
with transcription services and outsource platforms allows you to harness cost
effective transcription of documents while freeing up the clinician to treat
patients and not be the transcriptionist.
