PhyLogic Healthcare provides not only reimbursement services and practice management
systems, but also provides completely integrated Electronic Medical Records (EMR) solutions. PhyLogic
can provide either our own EMR system, or interface with many of the most popular EMR’s available. PhyLogic
combined with EMR is the ultimate clinical, office workflow, and financial medical practice solution.
PhyLogic’s billing and practice management systems interface with literally dozens of EMR
software systems on the market today. This provides your practice with the versatility
to utilize the EMR which best fits your personal needs and individual way of practicing medicine — while
simultaneously benefiting from PhyLogic’s services.
If you are already using an EMR, chances are PhyLogic can interface seamlessly with your EMR
system in a manner which makes maximizing revenue a breeze. Real-time, bi-directional interfaces
allow you to see things like financial data or appointment scheduling data on both your EMR
and practice management system. They also provide for the automated transfer of charge data
from the EMR to PhyLogic’s advanced billing systems for processing and servicing. What this
means for physicians is that you can simply utilize your EMR as normal, and in doing so, provide
the data needed for reimbursement purposes without disruption or additional work.
If you don’t have an EMR but are considering implementing one in the future, PhyLogic may very well
be your best partner. We will first create a solid foundation of financial stability upon which your
practice can grow, implementing PhyLogic’s systems and services to maximize revenue. We will then
assist you in selecting the best EMR for you, without disrupting the financial aspect of your practice.
While PhyLogic does have its own EMR system available for our clients, we fully recognize that the choice of EMR
systems is a very personal one. Just like no one billing service company is the right match for every practice,
no one EMR vendor is the best match for every practice either. There simply is no one “best EMR”. That is why
PhyLogic gives you options when it comes to EMR. Lots of options. With so many partners and interfaces, one
EMR on the market is sure to be the right one for you. You can make your decision with peace of mind,
knowing that your practice’s revenue cycle will maintain stability and not be compromised.
So how else can PhyLogic help with EMR? We have been in the systems business for over 15 years. We
understand EMR’s and can help guide you through the process as much, or as little as you choose. There
are many considerations such as operating systems, features, system workflow, input methodology options,
speed, company stability, and overall cost factors.
Some EMR vendors provide “all in one” solutions, combining the clinical with the financial. While this may
seem like a streamlined solution, it often places practices at risk, and locks them in at multiple levels. If
things are not going well in one area, change is near impossible as it requires both the clinical and financial
portions of the practice to be completely reconfigured and re-implemented.
Our suggestion: Do not purchase an EMR just because it is the one used by your billing service or
practice management system company. And don’t select a billing company or PM system simply because
it works with your EMR. If you are not content with one or the other in the future, the flexibility
to change one without disruption to the other is vital. Simply stated — consider the risks off placing
all of your practice’s eggs in one basket. Therefore, one recipe for success is to find the BEST
reimbursement solution for your practice, then find the BEST EMR for your practice — and just make
sure they play well together!
