Podiatry practices treat a number of different foot and ankle problems using a number of methods which can involve elements of physical medicine, surgeries, medications, devices such as braces and orthotics, and more.

As with any other medical specialty, Podiatry calls for its own set of requirements when it comes to electronic health records (EHR). And exactly as with other medical specialties, not every EHR works.

The system’s Podiatric-specific templates include:

The MedicsDocAssistant EHR easily handles these and other Podiatric-specific complaints.

In addition to the system’s Podiatric-specific capabilities, other features of interest to Podiatrists include:

• MedicsRx for electronic prescriptions and comprehensive patient medication management
• E / M Coding for Podiatric visits to help prevent over-coding and under-coding
• Workflow management to help maximize productivity
• Automated superbills for “on the fly” posting of diagnoses and procedures during the encounter
• Health maintenance reminders and alerts to the Podiatrists concerning patient follow up
• Specific Place of Service (POS) coding for Podiatric nursing home visits, etc.
• Lab orders directly from the patient’s record with results directly back into the patient’s record
• Ability to store digital images on the patient’s record
• Built-in handwriting for notations on images
• Voice recognition available for quick input of notes, eliminating costly outside transcription

The Medics Portal is available for Podiatry practices wanting the ultimate in cutting edge technology.

MedicsPortal connects your practice to your patients and vice versa in a dynamic and protected way using secure internet connectivity. Patients can use MedicsPortal to schedule appointments, review medical information, and send / receive messages between the practice and patients.

Patients can complete questionnaires and “paperwork” online using the MedicsPortal, eliminating the clipboard on arrival and the manual drudgery associated with it. It also eliminates the thick envelope of paperwork typically sent by Podiatry practices to new patients. When the patient arrives at the practice, their information will have already been entered into their record by them!

MedicsPortal makes all of this available at the patient’s convenience, 24 x 7 x 365.

Our MedicsPremier system is the ideal solution for Podiatry practices also interested in comprehensive, updated Practice Management for EDI, billing, collections, A/R, scheduling, reports and more. Seamlessly integrated with the MedicsDocAssistant EHR, the combination provides for a full suite of products managing clinical and business information.

Our solutions are available as Client Server or ASP / SaaS, depending on what works best for the practice.
