Podiatry EMR & Billing Software
Podiatrists need a software solution that maintains all the functionality of general electronic medical record (EMR) / electronic health record (EHR) solutions while containing specialty-specific clinical information that can support them in managing their podiatric practice. Specific features may include:
| Podiatry workflow management | Workflows should be designed to meet the needs of the podiatric specialty and make the physician and patient experience as simple and painless as possible. For example, a patient with a bunion can book the initial appointment and fill out their patient intake information online; the physician can then go through the bunion exam template at the point of care, schedule the patient for surgery, and then follow the surgical template and schedule the patient for ongoing follow-ups, all using the same software to capture and transfer the information |
| Podiatry templates | Podiatry-specific EMRs contain workflow templates that are designed specifically for the podiatric practice. Examples include ankle sprain, bunion, ingrown nail, bursitis, foot fracture, Achilles tendonitis, orthotics, neuroma, abscess, gout, verruca plantaris, nerve entrapment, and more. |
| Detailed foot diagrams | Dozens of diagrams in the software allow the physician to graphically document problems and demonstrate them to the patient for education purposes. Depending on the software, anywhere from a few to dozens of products dorsal, plantar, lateral, medial, and posterior images may be available. |
| Podiatry-specific prescription & coding assistance | By integrating the devices and the results into the podiatry EMR software, it can recommend prescriptions and ICD-9/CPT codes and scrub claims, increasing revenues and profit margins and reducing the chance of error. |
