Believe it or not, healthcare still communicates with paper. Less than 10 percent of hospitals say they’ve been able to trade records entirely through their digital systems. Shocking right?
Patient access has always been a problem, only 54 percent of all faxed patient referrals result in scheduled appointments due to the complexities of communication between health systems, or the lack thereof.
Ability to get a patient into an appointment is critical. Not only for a patient’s health, but for the viability of a health system from a revenue standpoint, its reputation, the insurance company, and even medical device and pharma companies. It is a tight knit ecosystem where if one chain in the communication link breaks down then all heck breaks lose and everyone suffers.
Great thing is there are finally platforms on the market that helps providers and staff route patients to the most appropriate high quality clinician in a community using SmartMATCH Technology from referralMD. Best of all it can integrate into the any EMR systems on the market like Epic, Cerner, eClinicalWorks, and Allscripts while reducing referral leakage saving health systems 100’s of millions.
