The Common Patient Intake Challenges
Everybody can easily guess the challenges faced while intaking a patient by practice and the problems patients face during the waiting process. Let us now see the common challenges or pain points of doing the patient intake process, the traditional way.
Crowded waiting rooms
This has always been a “stopper” for patients. We think twice before going into a clinic about the timing to go, and at what time the crowd will be smaller or bigger, and so on.
This thought also stops many from going to the clinics at certain times, for example, during the outbreak, people were afraid to go into the clinics even for small issues due to the crowded waiting area and the time it will take.
Nobody likes this situation. Paper-based intake forms can lead to delays which can make the staff work less efficiently and offer a bad patient experience. This can ultimately make healthcare consumers switch providers.
Staff burnout
Burnout becomes the first side effect of long paper works during patient intakes. These slow and outdated processes create operational inefficiencies, increase the workload of the staff, and result in both practice staff and physician burnout.
Adding to the tedious labor-intensive, and manual workload it only contributes to the administrative burden of healthcare practices and is not anything good.
Dissatisfaction of patients
The world is changing to new trends. The Healthcare industry is advancing with innovations and technologies to meet the changing trends. So how can the people who are expecting modern healthcare to be satisfied?
These outdated paperwork processes fail to meet modern consumers’ expectations. This results in patient dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction at a higher level has the ability to damage any practice’s reputation and interrupt the steps to attract new patients to grow their businesses over time.
Inaccurate patient details
While entering patient details manually, the staff can face so many difficulties. The information given or heard may be inaccurate. Some unnecessary data entries can result in missing or wrong information and other errors. This raises concerns about patient safety.
Inaccurate information can result in rejected insurance claims and ultimately delay payment to your practice.
