The Results of Implementing Patient Better's Patient Engagement Prioritization System in Your Practice
Implementing the Patient Better Program along with the Patient Engagement Prioritization System transforms both patient experiences and office workflows. By integrating this system into your practice, you can expect to see improvements in patient engagement, appointment efficiency, and overall satisfaction. Here’s what you can expect both from your patients and within your practice.
1. Results from Your Patients
- Increased Patient Engagement: Once patients begin using the Patient Better platform, they become more engaged in their own care. They now have the tools and education needed to actively manage their health, ensuring they’re well-prepared for appointments. With the Patient Better program, patients will arrive at their appointments with a chief complaint, organized notes, and relevant medical documents. This proactive approach helps streamline communication between the patient and provider, ensuring that all necessary information is available at each visit.
- Improved Appointment Efficiency: With the system in place, patients arrive with a clearer understanding of their health status and treatment plan. This drastically reduces the time spent on administrative tasks during appointments, as patients are equipped with prepared questions and concerns. By organizing their healthcare information ahead of time, appointments focus more on actionable treatment rather than reviewing incomplete or scattered records.
- Better Health Outcomes: By empowering patients to take charge of their healthcare management, you’ll see a notable improvement in health outcomes. Patients will be more likely to adhere to treatment plans, schedule necessary follow-ups, and avoid complications due to overlooked details. This kind of engagement leads to better long-term health outcomes, as patients are less likely to miss important steps in their care.
- Decreased Need for Follow-Up Appointments: When patients come fully prepared and educated about their condition, unnecessary follow-up appointments are minimized. Instead of coming back to address misunderstandings or forgotten details, patients leave their appointments with a clear understanding of next steps, reducing the need for further visits unless medically necessary.
2. Results for Your Office
- Streamlined Order Processing: The DME order process becomes smoother with the Patient Better system. Our team ensures that each order is complete and contains all necessary documentation before it’s processed. This reduces delays and ensures that orders are handled efficiently. Physicians can confidently prescribe necessary equipment knowing that the Patient Better staff will oversee the process and communicate with the patient for a seamless experience.
- Enhanced Workflow for Office Staff: Administrative tasks that typically take up a large portion of your staff’s time are significantly reduced. With the Patient Engagement Prioritization System, patients are guided to complete forms correctly and prepare necessary documents ahead of their appointments. This frees up your staff to focus on high-priority tasks, rather than spending time addressing redundant questions or incomplete paperwork.
- Improved Patient Satisfaction and Retention: Patient satisfaction directly correlates with how well they feel supported during their healthcare journey. By integrating this system, patients will feel more empowered and informed, leading to a higher satisfaction rate. Additionally, this positive experience builds trust in your practice, resulting in long-term patient retention and increased referrals.
- Increased Reimbursement Opportunities: For practices leveraging Chronic Care Management (CCM) codes, such as CPT 99490, the Patient Better system offers additional financial benefits. With patients actively engaged and better organized, you’ll be able to allocate time for CCM tasks, such as coordinating care, managing chronic conditions, and monitoring patient progress—tasks that are reimbursable and add a new revenue stream to your practice.
- Data-Driven Insights: By tracking patient engagement through the system, your practice can gain valuable insights into how patients are participating in their care. This data allows you to refine your processes further, identify any barriers to patient engagement, and continuously improve the quality of care your practice delivers. With a clear view of what’s working, you’ll be able to implement even more efficient and effective strategies.
Conclusion
Implementing the Patient Better Program and Patient Engagement Prioritization System not only improves patient outcomes but also optimizes the workflow within your practice. The results are clear—patients are more engaged, appointments are more efficient, and administrative burdens are minimized. As your patients become more empowered in managing their care, your practice benefits from increased satisfaction, retention, and revenue opportunities.
By prioritizing patient engagement and streamlining care coordination, your practice will experience immediate and long-lasting positive results.
