Tomorrow’s Oncology Practice Software TODAY
What is Oncology Software?
Designed to electronically store patient medical information, oncology software is an essential part of every oncologist’s practice. Ideally, the software not only takes into account the unique needs of oncologists, it also helps them spend more time with patients. But no matter how modern or feature-filled an electronic medical record (EMR) is, unless it easily integrates with all other software used in the oncology practice—everything from medical devices to billing software—it’s not a good choice.
Tomorrow’s Software Today
Today’s patients expect simple, fast, multi-channel communication with all their providers, along with virtual visits when appropriate. To keep up, oncology practices must provide secure text and chat for appointment making, automated appointment reminders, electronic registration, mobile check-in, telehealth connected to EMR, and automated e-billing and statements.
How Can Modern EMRs Benefit Oncologists?
- Simplify coding. EMRs that are difficult to learn, counterintuitive to use, and require multiple steps for simple tasks leads to physician burnout faster than any other issue. Oncologists are especially vulnerable to this phenomenon because of coding complexity and encounter frequency. They need software that improves efficiency by quickly leading them through the process to enter, for example, a radiation treatment category or type of neoplasm.
- Improve care coordination. Given that it’s perhaps the most complex of the medical specialties, it’s no surprise that care coordination was cited by oncologists as the most important aspect of the EMR, followed by symptom management and screening services.
- Improve patient-physician interactions. A survey conducted by the Association of Community Cancer Centers found that 41% of oncologists believe EMRs have had a negative impact on provider-patient interactions during appointments. To be effective, these tools must be so easy to use that oncologists can record key patient information during encounters while maintaining a meaningful conversation with the patient.
- Improve treatment-plan creation. Choosing a treatment plan requires gathering data from multiple sources, but few EMRs allow oncologists to easily bring all relevant information together to aid in treatment selection. Look for systems that facilitate this process and allow oncologists to use decision support to aid in treatment selection.
- Improve practice management. Features like note-taking templates, PQRI reporting functions, clinical decision support, and patient-progress dashboards all help oncologists create practice-specific workflows that help them spend more time with patients and less on administrative tasks.
- Improve revenue cycle management (RCM). You may think you need more staff or expertise to solve your A/R issues—the truth is today’s technology can identify and fix lost revene from patient balances and unpaid claims; benchmark your reimbursement rates; and help you understand how to increase patient satisfaction, increase revenue on routine appointments, and reduce no-shows.
What’s the Biggest Mistake Oncologists Make When Choosing an Office Solution?
No matter how modern or feature-filled a system is, unless it is integrated with all other office software used in the oncology clinic, it will not be able to give you the granular data you need for RCM. Put simply, the oncology office software you select should help providers:
- Provide in-office and remote patient care
- Quickly create superbills
- Easily track revenue to avoid leaks
- Create customized notetaking templates
- Create dashboards to track patient progress
- Easily gather data from a variety of imaging devices
Lastly, the oncology office system should be able to quickly integrate with patient-facing systems such as patient portals and personal electronic medical records.
