If you’re finding that your current technology is holding you back and causing inefficiencies in your practice, it’s time for a change. The signs may be evident in your daily work: when your staff is overwhelmed and bogged down with cumbersome clicks, billing is consistently behind, and the front desk is struggling to keep up with patient communications. If you’re expanding or have multiple locations, keeping track of each one may be challenging with your current system. By investing in new technology that is designed to streamline your workflow, automate tedious tasks, and increase productivity, you can focus on providing top-notch patient care while growing your practice.

Under a value-based care (VBC) model, you’re paid based on the outcome of your treatments, not the amount of care given. Payers are increasingly willing to offer higher reimbursements for practices that use a VBC model, meaning VBC can help grow your revenue. Additionally, the measurement-based care that often undergirds VBC has been shown to improve patient outcomes. Better results for your clients means a strong reputation for your practice, leading to more referrals and positive word-of-mouth reviews.

Monitor productivity reports, both at the practice level and at the provider level. Generate reports on client retention and client outcome measures to gauge the efficacy of your treatment. It’s also important to monitor your referral sources and nurture those relationships. Finally, keep a sharp eye on your payroll reports.

Consider implementing measurement-based care as soon as possible to improve patient outcomes and stay ahead of industry best practices. With the right technology infrastructure in place, you can automate the administration and scoring of symptom rating scales between appointments, make data-driven decisions, and personalize treatment plans to better meet patient needs.
