Managing a patient’s pain is essential for recuperation and well being. When patients are in pain, it’s more difficult to get better. The stress of pain and discomfort, especially when they are chronic, can even contribute to patients taking a turn for the worst. When medical groups begin implementing electronic health record software solutions, they are often motivated by the prospect of saving time, improving efficiency and being able to communicate more effectively with governmental and insurance entities, as well as other healthcare providers. As the boss or owner of a medical organization, there are some features that your team will want in EHR software to help you with pain management. Make Sure Your EHR Software Can Scale Up Even if your practice is working wonders in the community in terms of managing pain, it’s a good idea to recognize the importance of using EHR software that is scalable. Assume your practice will continue to grow and that you will need to help even more patients in the future. Verify that your prospective EHR software can not only accommodate the number of pain management professionals on your staff, but that it will also scale up as you add new members to your team.
