Consumer-Driven Healthcare: Giving Patients What They Want
Your patients are consumers – consumers who use the Internet to research products and services, to purchase goods, and to conduct transactions like banking or purchase airline tickets.  

Healthcare is also a consumer market - and patients want to be able to interact with their doctor's office online. According to a recent survey by Deloitte, 57% of those surveyed said they want a secure Internet site to communicate with their doctor. Consumerism in healthcare isn’t a fad – it is becoming the standard.   How is your practice meeting the needs of your patients as consumers?

This Webinar covers what patients are looking for in healthcare and the steps you can take to increase your patient base and enhance patient satisfaction.
The video portion of this presentation begins at 1 minute 45 seconds into the presentation. (Audio begins immediately).

21st Century Healthcare- Expand Your Patient Outreach with Virtual Office Visits
As technology advances in the healthcare industry, so should your practice in the way you reach your patients.  Why? Because they’re demanding it.  Research has shown that web-based patient-to-provider communications is strongly linked to patient satisfaction. 

How many times have you had a patient call your office and ask if they really had to be seen by the doctor before they could get a prescription refill? Or if they really had to come in for a follow up visit? What if you could instead conduct a Virtual Office Visit (also known as an e-visit), saving both the patient and your practice time?

With more nationwide payors beginning to reimburse for Virtual Office Visits (VOVs), this is  a great way for your practice to expand your patient outreach for non-emergent health issues and turn undocumented, un-chargable phone consultations into revenue-generating visits, all in a secure HIPAA-compliant environment.

Bringing Care Full Circle with Patient Centered Medical Home
The family physician is at the heart of patient care, and in a great position to take advantage of the massive initiatives to reshape the healthcare industry.

The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) has developed a recognition program where family physician practices can be rewarded for becoming a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH)...a medical home that is the focal point of all of the patient's care.

Don't miss this opportunity to hear what Dr. Bender has to say about being recognized as a Patient Centered Medical Home and how health information technology can help you address the requirements for all nine of the PCMH standards.

President, Northern Colorado IPA
Board and Past President, Larimer County Medical Society

Simplify Your Referral Process and Reduce Costs of Managing Referrals
Description:
Patient care coordination is key when primary care physicians refer patients to specialists.  But, oftentimes clinical integration and coordination of care is lacking because of the communication breakdown between practices.  Perhaps you're the referring practice scheduling the appointment on behalf of the patient during their in-office visit, which then results in long wait times at the check-out window.  Or maybe you're the referred-to practice that receives a referral with inaccurate patient information and no reason for the referral. In either case, both practices are compromising workflow efficiencies and time management. This webinar will demonstrate how to simplify your physician referral process to achieve an end result that streamlines your workflow, coordinates care, drives patient satisfaction, and reduces the costs of managing your referrals.

Three Steps To Increasing Office Efficiencies
Description: Is your practice overwhelmed with an abundance of incoming phone calls? Does your staff get frustrated not being able to seamlessly move through the daily workflow? How much time do your patients spend in the waiting room filling out forms? And how much time does your staff spend on data entry? What if all these processes could be significantly reduced? Well, they can. Have a listen to learn how.
