The Greatest Financial Benefits Come From Better Coding and Documentation
Financial benefits may come from higher reimbursements since the EHRs decision support templates create more detailed and accurate documentation and coding.
The integration between billing and EHR software also supports more complete charge captures and reduced charge lags
Physicians also report that they have cut dictation costs by as much as 80% with EHRs.
There’s also a significant decrease in the volume of paper flowing around and a reduction in clerical work. Physicians say these savings have paid for half the cost of the software in the first year
