Making the repetitive tasks automated<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">As per our internal survey, a physician in Canada spends almost 2 hours every day in data entry and administrative work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is extra work on top of their clinical work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">If we free up physicians from this data entry and administrative work, we can help them save 2 hours every day which ultimately reduces physician burnout.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here is how automation comes to the rescue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">It is a basic computer program or software that gets installed on the computer or laptop of a physician.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That program is trained to complete a list of fixed tasks on a physician\u2019s computer by itself with the highest accuracy and within minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">It can make patient data entry into the EMR\/EHR of the physician automatically.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">It can submit reimbursement requests on behalf of the physicians automatically.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong><em>It can prepare invoices, write e-prescriptions, gather patient info, prepare a post-discharge guide for patients, etc.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, it frees up physicians from the tedious work by executing their data entry and administrative work by itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You must read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syscreations.ca\/blog\/rpa-in-healthcare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><u>Use cases of automation in healthcare<\/u><\/span><\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Faster and paperless patient onboarding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patient onboarding is crucial for patients, but at the same time, it is very frustrating for physician office staff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">And if the staff makes some blunders while onboarding the patients, the frustration will pass on to physicians.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, when a patient visits the clinic, the front desk staff asks for his personal and demographic information which they later add into the patient portal and share with the physician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">However, if they enter the wrong information, physicians have to go through several challenges during care and billing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, a physician every time needs to inform the front desk staff that he is ready for the next patient which is a tedious process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">So, to avoid all such frustration while onboarding patients, physicians can deploy a waiting room that is available on the Internet.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It enables patients to fill out all of their personal and demographic information online as well as fill out patient intake forms from their mobile devices which directly share with physicians.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Moreover, patients can online check in to the clinic from their home, from parking, or while on the way to the clinic (just like web check-in you do before your flight) and when it is their turn to be seen by the doctor, patients get a text message.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, this way, physicians can make the entire patient onboarding process a faster and paperless process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">It leads to easier and smoother patient onboarding at the physicians\u2019 front which reduces their unnecessary efforts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explore more: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.syscreations.ca\/blog\/virtual-waiting-room-for-doctors-office\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><u>Make Waiting Room in Doctor\u2019s Office Smarter &amp; Faster<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Reduce in-person patient appointments without affecting revenue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a patient physically visits the healthcare provider, he spends more time in the clinic and the healthcare provider needs to ensure a good patient experience that consumes a lot of time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">As per our internal survey, a physician needs to allocate at least 45 minutes to each patient visited in person.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when a physician uses a telemedicine tool to consult a patient, an average virtual visit lasts only about 20 to 30 minutes. Why?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Well, in a virtual visit, the app itself automatically onboards the patients and leaves only virtual consultation and e-prescribing parts on the shoulders of physicians.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, advanced telemedicine features optimize the patient care workflows which saves the clinical time of physicians.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">For instance, an online referral system integrated with a telemedicine platform automatically attaches the clinical data as well as patient data into a referral note and allows healthcare providers to choose referral notes from ready-made templates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meaning, providers reduce time utilization for referral note-making to more than 50%.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You won\u2019t regret clicking this: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.syscreations.ca\/blog\/cost-to-develop-best-telemedicine-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><u>What is a white-label telemedicine platform?<\/u><\/span><\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Find less time-consuming ways to engage patients in their care cycles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patient engagement is crucial for clinical outcomes and the faster recovery of patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">However, it is a challenging and time-consuming task for physicians to engage patients in their patient care lifecycle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Physicians manually need to share diet plans, workout activities, post-discharge self-care assessments, and medication plans, and sometimes even remind patients of different levels of self-care.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Moreover, when the patient gets confused with diet, workout, medication, and any sort of self-care assignment, he prefers to talk to physicians which is an extra burden for physicians\u2019 already busy day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And since they are their existing patients, physicians can\u2019t deny them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Here, a patient engagement tool plays a major role.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It automatically shares useful resources with patients and facilitates physicians to manage all patient profiles at a single location and anytime talk to them or share any sort of resources with a single click.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outcome?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Well, it reduces the time physicians spend on patient engagement efforts resulting in free time for physicians to get some fresh air and relax.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Learn something new today: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.syscreations.ca\/blog\/patient-engagement-solution\/\"><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong><u><u>How to choose the best patient engagement tool<\/u><\/u><\/strong><u>?<\/u><\/span><\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Burnout is what happens when you try to avoid being human for too long.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">So, why not allow these tech strategies to serve you with less life of a physician and more life of a human?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As per the survey, almost 50% of physicians in tier 1 cities of Canada go through some level of burnout.
