“It takes anywhere from two to three people a day to put together 30 to 40 charts,” says Surgical Notes CEO and President Jeff Blankenship. “It’s a minimum of eight man-hours to create charts. With this, we can automate charts and do it in 30 minutes.”
The VMR Express lets you print forms directly from your office PCs with accurate patient information on each form; customize forms according to physicians and procedures; scan forms back into your PCs for safe storage; pull data directly from your scheduling software; and effectively eliminate the need for sticky labels.
In addition to making employee hours and manual processes more efficient, the program saves money, says Mr. Blankenship, by eliminating the cost of pre-printed forms and stick labels; eliminating human error on ADT information; eliminating wasted chart expense from no-show patients; reducing medical record storage and retrieval fees; and ensuring 100 percent accuracy on all transcription patient demographics.
“If you have 50 surgeons who operate at your ASC, and 40 want to be electronic but 10 want you to fill out forms by hand, the VMR Express will let you do both and co-exist,” says Mr. Blankenship. “You’ll see the savings from forms creation alone right away when you consider ASCs are usually spending $60,000 to $75,000 per year printing forms and labels, and paying another company to store documents and retrieve them when needed. The VMR Express eliminates all that.
“This is a complementary application to enhance the other practice management and dictation applications ASCs are using, to help them further automate their processes.”
