Very few episodes of care end when the patient leaves the exam room. Many times, patients are given instructions for ongoing treatment of a disease or condition or receive orders for further diagnostic tests. Even when an appointment is a discrete event, health maintenance and preventive care protocols eventually require a return visit.
NextGen EMR records follow-up recommendations and ongoing treatment requirements with just a few keystrokes. Once in the system, the information is readily available to support staff, who can generate reports about which patients need follow-up appointments and additional testing.
This module also generates automatic recall lists and can be prompted to generate reminder letters or postcards. Not only do these activities allow you to develop robust and responsive disease management and health maintenance programs for enhanced patient care outcomes, they help your practice generate revenue that might be lost when follow-up care is neglected or appointments are missed.
Note: Some features may require additional purchase or incur separate charges.
