“DOX Podiatry is extremely intuitive and easy to use. There is no need for a massive conversion; getting started was simple and easy. I began using the system with my patients the first day it was installed. ”
The need for IT and computerized office management systems for the medical profession is well know. President Bush and Senator Ted Kennedy have made recent press releases emphasizing the importance of IT and electronic medical records to our nation. Physicians are pursuing these IT solutions and anticipated efficiencies in light of declining reimbursements, greater administrative burdens and increasing operational costs.
Unfortunately, most solutions only worsen the problem; most solutions take a large up-front investment in time (configuration) and money yet fail to deliver a comprehensive solution to the problem of full life-cycle practice/patient management.
DOX EMR and DOX Podiatry, delivers a comprehensive full life-cycle solution to the market at a reasonable cost. DOX is configured for each specialty providing physicians immediate, day one, benefits. The benefits encompass efficiencies in physician-patient interaction, office operations and throughput. The benefits are measurable and are guaranteed to exceed the nominal lease cost of the system.
The DOX Podiatry system is built around an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) component, “the physicians’ assistant” specific to each clinical specialty with a fully developed database that allows the physician to use it, “right out of the box”. No additional data input or building of the system is needed. This component provides the biggest time saver for physicians as it automatically builds the patient’s detailed medical record and SOAP notes from the visit. As the physician diagnoses the patient using the DOX graphical user interface, all the information is being captured and summarized programmatically. The result: Real-time data capture resulting in no hard to read hand written notes, no dictation at the end of the day, and no waiting for days or weeks to complete your patients records.
DOX leverages the real-time data capture to drive the billing activity that pulls billing codes (ICD and CPT) directly from the physician’s work in the EMR component. This avoids any duplicate data entry along with associated errors and results in optimized billing results.
DOX system is fully integrated between its modules so that patient data and other information are available, shared, and utilized throughout the entire system. The result is an office staff that can now focus on income generating tasks.
