In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Pioneer Physicians Network, a 70-provider organization in the Greater Akron, Ohio area decided to "right size" their practice. They used Revenue Cycle Management services from eClinicalWorks to shift burdensome work off their staff, allowing them to maximize the effectiveness of existing personnel and resources. Pioneer centralized their eligibility processes, made check-in more efficient, reduced days in A/R by up to 25%, has improved collections, and enabled providers to meet their quality benchmarks more consistently.

In this edition of the eClinicalWorks Podcast, Farah Saeed, a member of the Interoperability Team at eClinicalWorks discusses the importance of practices received ADT (admission, discharge, and transfer) notifications from hospitals for patients under their care.

With PDMP from eClinicalWorks, providers have the tools they need to comply with all state and federal regulations, discourage pharmacy shopping, and ensure effective pain control.

In this edition of the eCW Podcast, we talk with David Uptagrafft, Director of Operations at Innova Primary Care.

When entries in providers' Progress Notes don't match standard abbreviations in the medication database, uncoded allergies can arise. Such uncoded allergies will not trigger drug allergy alerts, which can lead to patient safety issues. eClinicalWorks has developed a mapping tool to automatically convert uncoded allergies to coded allergies, helping providers handle them properly. In this edition of the eClinicalWorks Podcast, Chief Medical Information Officer Dr. Brian Jacobs explains what uncoded allergies are, how they arise, and how the EHR is helping doctors eliminate them. From penicillin and sulfa drugs to herbal remedies, vitamins, and everything in between, eClinicalWorks is having the last word — and the last abbreviations! — in patient safety.
