Empowering Small Practices to Deliver the Best Care

IT

EMBRACING TECHNOLOGY IS THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR BUSINESS AND YOUR PATIENTS

One of my passions here at AZCOMP is helping practices stay up to date with their technology. I love seeing our clients discover how putting careful thought into the way they use technology can make all the difference in providing truly great patient care. After six years of doing what I do, I’ve seen that happen time and again. But that also means I’ve seen professionals shy away from adapting to the newest technologies because they’re accustomed to the systems they’ve developed or feel that trying to grasp changing technology is just too daunting. In a profession where the health of your patients should take center stage, wanting to be a doctor first and an IT expert far from second is entirely understandable. But when you have the right tools in your belt and are trained to utilize them to their fullest, you’ll actually find that doing the medical part of your job is much more feasible, too. Technology in this space moves fast. Just 10 years ago, so many of the automated systems we have today were in their infancy. Appointment reminders meant someone on staff had to call each individual number to remind patients to come to their appointment. To get your patients to pay their bills, they either had to be prepared to write a check in person on the day of their appointment, or you had to wait weeks — sometimes months — to receive their payment in the mail. Before things like electronic health records, patient portal access, and even telehealth, patients couldn’t be nearly as connected with or proactive about their own health care. Today, technology makes all these actions as easy as pushing a button, and our health care system is better for it. With automated appointment reminders, people are showing up for their appointments more reliably. With a variety of ways to send electronic statements, patients can be much quicker and more secure when they pay their bills. As a result, medical practices are not only getting more revenue, but they’re also receiving it faster than ever before. The right technology can make your business better, which means you have an even higher capacity to serve your patients the way you want to and the way they deserve. The world we live in demands technological upkeep. In 2020 alone, many practices were forced to shut down because they couldn’t have people in their offices and didn’t have the technology

in place that allowed them to do their work from home. Those practices didn’t have any automated processes, no health record access, and no telehealth services. This year may have been an unpredictable outlier, but it’s a shining example of just how critical technology has become to the work you want to provide. Medical expertise is incredible, but if your practice isn’t backed by the right technology, you’ll end up with no way to provide the services you have to offer. If you want your business to thrive by giving your patients the best experience and care possible, the right technology can make that happen. AZCOMP can help you install the software and systems

you need, then train you and your staff on how to use them. We can walk you through how technology can bring business back into your office, generate revenue, and make patients happy. Change may be scary, but embracing it is much better for your practice and your patients. Let’s embrace it together.
