How to Save Time and Update Patient Records Quickly

Manually entering chart details into your computer isn’t cutting it anymore. Patient volumes are higher than ever, and healthcare professionals can’t keep up. We’re jotting down more charts than we ever have.

And, this is leading to more errors. In fact, 25% of patients have found errors in their medical charts. Among those individuals, 84.7% found that these mistakes were somewhat to very serious in nature. These are the kinds of errors that can lead to patient fatalities.

Physicians characterize some patients as having a disease they don’t or not having a disease they do. Some physicians have listed incorrect medications or made orders for the wrong treatments. They’re mixing up body parts and treatment plans.

And, it’s all harming the patient.

So, as we’re looking at how to save time in patient record management, we should also be looking at how to reduce mistakes.

Cloud-Based Patient Record Management

Most charts are online now. In fact, 85.9% of office-based physicians are using electronic medical records that store patient charts via the cloud. So, we have to look for cloud-based management techniques that can help with cloud-based patient records.

That’s why we recommend drag n’ drop files software when you’re handling patient charts.

What Is Drag n’ Drop Files Software?

This solution for medical records management allows you to drag and drop files from your computer. You can put these files into a case management folder. Then, the system will automatically update the case with the new files.

So, if you’re handling a patient case. You can drag and drop their old files into their new chart with your organization. Then, this chart will update, including all of the old information.

With everything in one place, you can see whether or not there have been any discrepancies in the patient’s chart over the years. Then, you can remove any incorrect information. Thus, you’ll be saving the patient from suffering as a result of incorrect charting in the future.

Often, this kind of software is hard to get. You may have to check whether or not it’s compatible with your electronic records system.

Then, you may worry about paying for multiple systems. This can become costly and time-consuming.

Plus, you may only be able to access this kind of software on the devices that you install it. This means that you have to spend the time and money putting it on every single computer for every single employee needing to access it.
