Maybe you’re a bit like me…
Until recently, the world of Practice Management Systems has been this big muddled up realm for me. That all changed when I did my latest podcast interview with Dr. Susan Litton, founder of PSYBooks.
When I was in private practice, I used a Practice Management System that I hated: it was a ton of time and effort, and never really worked for my practice. I was running my practice to meet the requirements of the technology, rather than truly having a system that worked for me.
I know I’m not alone. Many of you in private practice have the same sense of confusion or outright frustration when it comes to an EHR (Electronic Health Records) system that I did. I get asked quite a bit about EHRs, and I’ve never felt as though I had the best answers to give. So I realized it was time to seek out expert advice.
Dr. Litton is the perfect combination of clinical expertise (she’s been in private practice for a while now), and techie geek. So she knows exactly what we need to make a private practice run more smoothly and efficiently.
Dr. Litton’s approach is to start with the requirements you need to build and manage your private practice, and then find a system that will work for you. Sounds like the right way to work, doesn’t it?
This interview will demystify EHRs for you, and give you:
- The lowdown on what exactly an EHR or EMR is anyway
- Answers to common questions about what’s required of you by law
- How to cut your documentation down to a few clicks after each session (Really!)
- Ways to keep your clinical documentation separate from your personal notes, all in one system
- The SAFEST way to store your protected client data
- Criteria that you should look for when selecting an EHR
- Boosting efficiency in private practice
- Clarity about “meaningful use” and what this means for private practice
A practice management system isn’t traditional “marketing” or “practice-building”, but as you’ll discover, the right system can be a tremendous tool in building your practice because of all the efficiency it offers.
