Addressing Long-Term Care Practitioner's Challenges.
Increasing ageing population and decreasing reimbursement rates make Practitioner Efficiency a must.
LTC Practitioner Challenges
1. Documentation tends to get delayed due to Practitioner's mobility and required Typing skills.
2. Generating the Rounding list for a Practitioner's visit to a facility remains a cumbersome task.
3. Inability to track all the encounters (especially the phone encounters) result in significant revenue loss.
4. Lack of co-ordination among medical staff limits their ability to improve Quality of Care.
5. Manual tasks like delivering Clinical notes to Facilities and Encounter sheets to Billing impose significant time constraints on Practitioners preventing them from increasing their coverage.
We have deep knowledge of these challenges. Our Chief Medical Officer faced them as a Geriatric Practitioner in Long Term Care Settings. MDlog was designed to address these challenges and refined for the last 5 years to drive the efficiency of Practitioners so they can increase their Coverage and Revenue.
It is all about WORKFLOW !!!!
An Ambulatory EMR is not the solution!
- It cannot address LTC Challenges by just being Portable .
- It can reduce Practitioner's Revenue even if it is Free .
The last thing LTC Practitioners needs is an Ambulatory EMR as it will significantly decrease their efficiency and coverage with its incompatible Workflow.
MDlog drives Practitioner Efficiency without any Capital Costs.
1. Quick Documentation Anytime Anywhere through Dictation.
MDlog offers a simplified interface designed for LTC Practitioners and optimized for Dictation. The real time Speech-To-Text conversion provided by Nuance Communications Inc (Makers of Dragon Medical) supports Medical Terminology to ensure Practitioner efficiency for documenting Clinical Notes. It is available Anytime Anywhere unlike Ambulatory EMR's where the Dictation service is tied to a device (if at all available).
2. Co-ordination Among Practitioners.
An Ambulatory EMR is designed for patients to be covered by a single Practitioner while LTC Practitioners need a solution that will allow patients to be covered routinely by multiple Practitioners of their Practice. MDlog provides precisely that and additionally enables seamless co-ordination/communication among Practitioners through iPhone app to ensure proper coverage and provides effective continuity of care.
3. No Upfront Costs, only Flat Monthly Fees for Unlimited Use.
Most of the LTC Practitioners have already invested in an Ambulatory EMR for their Office Practice and last thing they need is another one with upfront License Fees. MDlog can drive the efficiency of their LTC Practice with just a Maintenace Fees and without any Upfront License Fees.
4. Automates Logistic Tasks for Significant Time Savings.
LTC Practitioners spend significant time doing manual tasks like delivering printed notes to facilities and submitting Encounter details to their Billing. MDlog enables the time savings by posting Filed Notes and Encounter details on the web for secure download by Facilities and Billing respectively. If Facilities cannot be expected to download the notes, then practitioners can print them the next time they are in the facility using any available computer.
5. Automatic Rounding List Generation for Faster Facility Coverage.
Unlike an Office Practice, LTC coverage requires a more complex capability to generate a Rounding List based on Practitioner preferences, Payor policies and Required Care. MDlog can generate the Rounding List with a click of a button based on the criteria and configuration settings while an ambulatory EMR can leave the Practitioner spending hours preparing that list.
