8 New Year\u2019s Resolutions that you can\u2019t afford not to make<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Stop waiting 30 seconds or more for each note to load on your computer<\/strong>\n
      \n
    1. Your web based PT EMR tells you, \u201cthat\u2019s normal\u201d.\u00a0 Don\u2019t listen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    2. Stop wasting 14 clicks just to see a scan<\/strong>\n
        \n
      1. With your web based PT EMR, you can\u2019t see scans in the patient notes.\u00a0 Because it takes 14 clicks to see a scan and return to the note, and because of web lag, you\u2019ve just stopped looking at scans \u2013 Unacceptable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      2. Stop spending 25 and 30 minutes writing an eval.\u00a0<\/strong>\n
          \n
        1. Why do you intentionally use one of the slowest EMRs in outpatient rehab?\u00a0\u00a0 Watch this video to see how you can document an eval in half the time.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
        2. Stop documenting daily notes at home.\u00a0<\/strong>\n
            \n
          1. Your web based PT EMR does not support point of care documentation.\u00a0 This is unfair to your personal life \u2013 Unacceptable<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
          2. Stop giving away 4% of your revenue<\/strong>\n
              \n
            1. While your web based PT EMR claims their billing is integrated, patient deductibles and coinsurance do not transfer from billing to the front desk.\u00a0 Your EMR blogs that 80% of patient payments not collected at the front desk will never be collected \u2013 Yet they don\u2019t show the front desk how much is due\u2026. Nuts!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
            2. Stop submitting dirty claims that don\u2019t get paid<\/strong>\n
                \n
              1. Your web based PT EMR allows your staff to submit incomplete and incorrect data that does not get paid.\u00a0 Payers are pounding you with technology, and you\u2019re stuck with an extremely well-marketed EMR that has primitive capabilities.\u00a0 Why do you accept this?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
              2. Stop living with the fact that you are vulnerable to the #1 cause of HIPAA violations<\/strong>\n
                  \n
                1. Unauthorized access is the #1 HIPAA violation in 2017.\u00a0 Your web based PT EMR allows any user to instantly access your PHI from any computer, anywhere. \u00a0In fact, they advertise this as a benefit. \u00a0There is nothing to stop any employee from logging into your PHI from an infected computer.\u00a0 This is \u201cshow up on the evening news\u201d stuff\u2026 terrifying.\u00a0 Don\u2019t accept this level of HIPAA risk<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
                2. Stop paying 35% more than you should for EMR and billing.<\/strong>\n
                    \n
                  1. The poor performance listed above is bad enough.\u00a0 Over-paying for it is insulting<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
