Medfusion
Medfusion equips practices with the ability to dramatically improve office efficiency and reduce operating costs … driving bottom-line results and generating revenue while others struggle in a challenging economy.
We are a patient-to-provider communication platform that allows patients and practices to communicate simply and securely online for things like appointment requests, prescription renewals, filling out paperwork, and communicating lab results.
By moving time-, expense-, and resource-intensive processes to a Medfusion Web-based solution, you can realize unprecedented results like: -reducing operating costs by 75 percent, - accelerating patient payments by 35%, - streamlining patient visits by 4-6 minutes by having the patient’s HPI/ROS before the visit begins, - redirecting hundreds of hours a month away from paperwork to focused patient care. According to Central VA Family Physicians (a 40-doc practice), "We're very pleased with our new web-based offerings ... we've streamlined operations and saved money, strengthening our bottom line."
Appt. Requests
Appointment requests lets patients securely request an appointment at any time, from anywhere.
It is a secure Web-based patient self-service application that enables patients to request appointments according to physician, location, day, time, and priority.
It drastically reduces office phone volume and increases staff productivity by shifting part of the appointment process to your patients. And it works: at Plano Orthopedic they get 320 online appointment requests per day, and they fill and respond to 90% of those online - without the need for a phone call.
