An Organized and Easy-to-Use Patient Portal is Key to Maintaining Customer Satisfaction
In order to effectively manage your clinics, you must have the ability to integrate your patient’s information into the various aspects of your practice for it to be accessible from one location. Billing, scheduling and documentation are critical to ensuring all processes are followed with each patient and you are able to provide a high-level of care and service.
With our Client Controller: Therapy Patient Portal, you are able to electronically integrate your patient’s information into a unified platform from the moment of intake— giving them access and control of their care, appointment scheduling and billing.
Our Client Controller Patient Portal allows patients to:
- Schedule or modify appointments
- Make necessary payments
- View medical records and any documentation made visible by staff
- Communicate through a “chat” feature to connect directly with therapists or staff regarding care, while remaining HIPAA compliant
Maintaining Equipment
It is crucial your clinics are equipped with the necessary tools for your therapists to provide the highest quality service and care available. You must ensure that while budgeting for your clinics, you are considering allotting expenses to be used towards the routine maintenance of equipment.
Plan Your Spending Wisely
Designate a time of year to make any large purchases or upgrades to your facilities. It is advisable to wait until the conclusion of the year to allocate the proper amounts that can be used in this manner without affecting the continuity of your clinic.
Managing several facilities is no easy endeavor, but finding an application that can seamlessly integrate each clinic into a unified platform will allow you to effectively oversee and manage the finances and operations of your company successfully. Our Client Controller: Therapy application can help you stay organized and informed regarding the current state of each of your clinics through its reporting, scheduling and patient portal functions.
