Our client, a leading healthcare organization in the United States, has been at the forefront of providing quality patient care for several years. Operating multiple clinics across various locations, they have relied on a charge-based system for their day-to-day operations. However, faced with limitations in functionality and escalating costs, the client seeks to transition to their own Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system to streamline operations and enhance efficiency. The client approached Thinkitive for the project based on our extensive expertise in delivering healthcare services and our impressive track record of successful projects.
Business challenges
1. Limited Functionality:
The system lacked essential features required for seamless clinic operations, such as patient registration, scheduling, encounter documentation, and post-bill management.
2. Higher Operational Costs:
The client incurred significant expenses associated with the charge-based system, including licensing fees and reliance on third-party vendors.
3. Inefficient Workflows:
Manual processes and fragmented systems led to inefficiencies in patient care delivery, scheduling, and encounter process, impacting overall clinic productivity and staff satisfaction.
Solution
Our team begins with developing an EMR solution tailored to the client's specific requirements. The project was divided into milestones, with each milestone focusing on delivering key functionalities:
1. Milestone 1: Patient Registration and Charting
In the first milestone, we focused on developing robust patient registration and charting functionalities. Key features included:
- User-friendly interfaces for seamless patient registration and data entry.

- Implementation of encounter documentation tools, including SOAP notes, to streamline clinical workflows and ensure accurate documentation.
3. Milestone 3: Bill Management and Role-Based Access
In the final milestone, we addressed bill management and role-based access requirements. Key components of this phase included:
- Features enabling clinics to manage post-bill activities, such as entering paid bills and tracking remaining balances.
