Chiropractic EMR & Billing Software
Chiropractic electronic medical record (EMR) / electronic health record (EHR) systems will offer features such as ADAM diagrams to illustrate diagnoses and procedures, SOAP notes with customizable text, and custom reports for a chiropractor's office. Additionally, some chiropractic-specific electronic medical record software will offer an image storage and retrieval system to track patient images and X-rays.
Chiropractors should also consider the following when evaluating systems:
| Chiropractic-specific workflow | Customized templates designed specifically for a chiropractic practice facilitate workflow and increase efficiency by offering a clear-cut way to capture complaints, history of present illness, review of symptoms and physical examination. |
| Chiropractic SOAP notes templates | Example templates include neck pain, oswestry, carpal tunnel, disc bulge, herniation, fibromyalgia, car accidents, sports injuries, sciatica, scoliosis, and thoracic complaints. |
| Visual input | Some chiropractic EMRs use point-and-click anatomical diagrams for taking notes during diagnosis and treatment. This one feature alone can decrease documentation time by three quarters. |
| Chiropractic device integration | Ensure that any medical devices used in diagnosis or treatment—for example, computerized muscle testing or x-ray radiography—integrates into the EMR software. Images and data should automatically import into the patient record, making the information easy to analyze and track. |
| Chiropractic E&M coding assistance | The chiropractic EMR’s E&M coder should allow the practice to verify ICD-9 and CPT codes associated with any diagnosis and connect directly to the billing software, ensuring faster and more accurate payment. Associated features include claim scrubbing, batch posting, DME billing, and workers compensation billing. |
| RAND assessments | Automatically incorporate treatment data into RAND outcomes assessments, facilitating this and other quality reporting tools. |
| Best-of-Breed vs Integrated Suite | EMR software can be purchased on a stand alone basis (i.e. "best-of-breed") or purchased as part of an integrated suite with medical insurance billing, patient scheduling and more. |
