Shortly after opening my practice in 2019, I was busting at the seams. My existing space was too small for my patient volume and my EHR was struggling to keep up the pace. Know how I knew this?  My staff pulled me aside one day for a ‘somethings-gotta-give’ intervention. Gotta love empowered staff! 

My office manager was struggling to complete scheduling tasks in a timely manner because our existing EHR was too slow and too small to handle the patient load we have, As someone who specializes in treating the geriatric community, I definitely don’t want them standing at the front desk longer than they have to while my office manager makes small talk waiting for the computer to catch up with her speed. 

So often in our line of work, I come across practitioners who are limited by their EHR. It can’t handle the patient volume or the charting is clumsy and time consuming or it lacks the ability to track packages or in our instance, all of the above.  Suddenly you or your staff are clocking extra hours tackling tasks that should take minutes. I probably don’t have to say this but do this enough days in a row and burnout creeps in. 

I talked to you last week about embracing transparency in our profession. And I bet some of you thought, “but how am I supposed to keep track of it all? I’m already working round the clock.” Well, first of all, I have incredible and competent staff. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, hire people with brains and watch the magic happen.  Second, I found a fully capable EHR that has automated so many of our processes.  And if hiring staff seems entirely too daunting a task at this moment, then the least you can do is automate some of your processes.

While we normally reserve our recommended EHR for coaching clients and the occassional webinar attendee, I’m tired of keeping this little secret. Of course I recommend you do your own research but if you’re looking for an EHR that’s nearly 100% customizable, can efficiently track packages, has fully integrated credit card processing, has all but automated charting (saves my staff hours) and has an incredible support staff, check out Optimantra.
