MedStar healthcare in partnership with Cerner have provided an expanded enterprise electronic health record that allows physicians to access readily, patients information across the ongoing period of health care provision.
Patients check -in and check- out
This involves the first and last opportunity for interaction with a patient. The first impression while checking in matters a lot as it sets the mood for the rest of the remaining period before the patient checks out. It is very important for the patient to leave while fully satisfied with the service offered. MedStar health care has provided a solution to urgent care patients’ .There is an online program for checking in, that allows patients to book in advance a time for checking in at their own convenience. The online check in program has wonderful features that make sure the patient’s time is not wasted and they still receive the best services.
Billing in healthcare
This refers to payments for health services. It sometimes becomes a hustle if this is being done through an insurance agency. Even after insurance details are submitted by the patient at the front desk of the hospital there is still more to be done. The healthcare facility receives its final payment after the agency settles the claim. It is a really important process that requires great attention in provision of healthcare services. MedStar healthcare provides an online payment service that makes the billing process easy for patients.
