The right technology for your practice is felt in the ease and efficiency of patient and staff experiences. The wrong technology is seen in disrupted patient care, lost revenue, and an ineffective workflow. Yet, it can be hard to decide what technologies are right and wrong for  your ophthalmology practice. 

Whether you’re looking to improve the patient experience, increase your team’s productivity, or take on more patients, there’s probably a performance goal you have set for your plastic surgery practice. But setting goals and achieving them are two different things–and accomplishing them often boils down to having the right tools. No matter your goal, the right plastic surgery EHR (electronic health records) and PM (practice management) software can make it easier to achieve.   

It’s the beginning of one of the busiest days yet in your ophthalmology practice. Instead of being frazzled over the large patient load, your team comes in, relaxed, and at ease. They turn on the practice’s new ophthalmology EHR and prepare for the day. As patients come in, each one gets amazing care, billing happens in the background, and no one has to wait too long to see the doctor. At the same time, a cyber hacker tries to steal your practice’s medical information but fails, thanks to your EHR’s cloud-based security.  

From billing for elective and nonelective treatments to coordinating appointments with hundreds of patients to managing your practice’s schedule, a lot of administrative time goes into running a dermatology office. While administrative work will always be a part of your practice’s day-to-day, having the right electronic health record (EHR) and dermatology practice management (PM) system can cut administrative time in half and generate more revenue. Here are five easy ways to get the most out of your dermatology PM and EHR system in 2023: 

Healthcare conferences can accelerate the growth of your practice and introduce you to key people and technologies in the industry. EDGE, an immersive two-day conference for Nextech’s healthcare practices, is no exception. The conference provides workshops and sessions on how to improve your operational efficiency with the most up-to-date software and processes. 

Little changes can make a huge difference, especially when it comes to your healthcare practice’s finances. A small change you might not have considered is switching to a more efficient and cost-effective payment processing system.  

It’s no secret that we’re on the verge of another recession. The only debate is if it has already arrived or if it will arrive in the next six months. While most of the headlines right now are about tech layoffs and a lack of venture capital for startups, the recession will impact every industry, including healthcare. 

You got into the healthcare field to change patients' lives, not to organize data or respond to cyberattacks. Yet in our digitized world, storing patient data – and protecting that data from cyber threats – is a time-consuming reality. Switching to a cloud-based solution can transform your electronic health records (EHR) and practice management (PM) systems.
