Pessimism and the PT \u2013 Here\u2019s the Cure<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Another leading EMR recently published a blog titled, \u201cPessimism and the PT.\u201d\u00a0 You can Google the blog\u2019s title if you want to read something gloomy.<\/p>\n

It laments topics such as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Higher documentation requirements<\/li>\n
  • Ever-declining reimbursements<\/li>\n
  • Increasingly burdensome payer requirements<\/li>\n
  • Unrealistic productivity expectations<\/li>\n
  • Excessive emphasis on patient satisfaction surveys<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Have you noticed that EMR companies that have spent more on marketing than on technology have become pessimistic as they openly discuss declining reimbursements and frustration with inefficient documentation?\u00a0 One even asked if rehab was on the brink of recession!<\/p>\n

    A Bleak Future?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Low-tech EMR is leaving many PT\u2019s with the feelings that, \u201cI can\u2019t take any more\u201d and as it relates to documentation and payments. \u201cThere\u2019s no more stretch left in the rubber band.\u201d\u00a0 But we all need to realize:<\/p>\n

    In three months, your practice will be faced with 7% takebacks as MIPS introduces the most burdensome requirements ever. \u00a0And after that, commercial payers are expected to join the program.<\/p>\n

    If your EMR is making you pessimistic today, how will you survive the next wave of healthcare reform?<\/p>\n

    How to Lose Your Blues<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

    During the last 16 years, Systems 4PT has taken a completely different approach to EMR.\u00a0\u00a0 Through years of constant improvement, we\u2019ve invested tens of millions of dollars into technology instead of slick marketing. \u00a0Our results speak for themselves:<\/p>\n

    Systems 4PT is the only EMR with which average collections per claim have not declined since 2013* <\/strong><\/p>\n

    More than half of our practices collected the same or more per claim Jan-June 2018 vs. Jan-June 2017.<\/p>\n

    Systems 4PT integrates payer rules into the front desk and therapist workflows<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Employees are guided to satisfy payer rules that are unknown to other software.\u00a0 Employees can\u2019t sign off if claims don\u2019t pass the payer rules.<\/p>\n

    Systems 4PT\u2019s first-pass acceptance rate leads the industry at 99.87%<\/strong><\/p>\n

    No one else comes close.<\/p>\n

    Systems 4PT is the only EMR that is faster than paper documentation<\/strong><\/p>\n

    We will cut your documentation time in half, with twice the Medicare compliance.<\/p>\n

    Systems 4PT features an integrated MIPS workflow<\/strong><\/p>\n

    In 2016, our PQRS workflow had 65% higher compliance than the industry standard, delivered in 97% less time than other EMR.\u00a0 We\u2019ll do the same with MIPS.<\/p>\n

    Systems 4PT offers a free EMR trial<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Documenting is believing.<\/p>\n

    Systems 4PT reports profit, by therapist, by month<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Follow our protocols.\u00a0 It\u2019s easy to earn a 10% pretax profit in today\u2019s outpatient rehab industry.<\/p>\n

    It\u2019s Time for an Attitude Adjustment<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Your low-tech, checklist EMR hasn\u2019t kept up with healthcare reform.\u00a0 They haven\u2019t solved your problems and they\u2019re now openly discussing their shortcomings.\u00a0 And all of this only gets worse when MIPS begins in 3 months.<\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, therapists who use technology-driven EMR, get their notes signed, and enjoy stable collections are not intimidated by the next round of healthcare reform.\u00a0 And these therapists pay less for these superior results than what you pay for inadequate EMR and billing today.<\/p>\n

    Take a look at Systems 4PT and you\u2019ll see why<\/p>\n

    It\u2019s a GREAT time to own a practice in outpatient rehab!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6296,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general"],"yoast_head":"\nPessimism and the PT \u2013 Here\u2019s the Cure -
