Foxmeadows.com, provider of the popular Medinotes e software, is pleased to offer another electronic medical records tool designed to simplify each minute of the doctor/patient encounter. 

Encounter Manager, a fully HIPAA-compliant software, tracks patient encounters electronically from the front desk to the billing desk.  This EMR software is user-friendly and simple to learn, increasing office efficiency on multiple fronts.

Medical office managers using Encounter Manager are able to manage and update schedules for multiple providers and examination rooms through a simple, time-efficient interface.  Schedules created by Encounter Manager are PDA-compatible, eliminating the need for paper patient schedules and space-eating calendars and whiteboards.  Encounter Manager also tracks patient signatures and referrals, alerting providers when new signatures are needed or referrals have expired.

Unlimited fee structures can be quickly and efficiently customized for any office; these fee structures can also be utilized by Medinotes e software (available from Foxmeadows.com) to automatically calculate charges stemming from the patient’s visit in real-time.  Encounter Manager also speeds up patient checkout, immediately identifying the patient’s co-pay amount or percentage. 

Encounter Manager also increases efficiency by reducing mistakes.  Each patient event is time- and date-stamped with the unique user ID working in the file, which makes it easy for managers to hold employees accountable for mistakes or oversights.  And billing desks will be pleased with Encounter Manager’s ability to catch problematic claims before they’re sent, leading to timely collections from insurance providers and government healthcare organizations. 

Offices with a limited budget, or offices that are already serviced by a medical billing company, may be interested in only the scheduling module of Encounter Manager.   This powerful, user-friendly scheduling tool is available as a stand-alone unit at reduced cost for offices focused on streamlining the business side of their medical practice.
