In the healthcare world, keeping track of product inventory is crucial. But oftentimes, problems arise due to an organization’s disparate systems. When a practice’s systems aren’t linked, staff members may end up wasting time and entering duplicate data.
A new partnership between EHR vendor drchrono and FlexScanMD, an inventory management software company, aims to change that.
Transforming Patient Care: The Role of AI-Powered Assistants
The progress in artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping patient care, across various dimensions, from facilitating faster discharge to curating treatment plans and suggesting lifestyle changes.
Through the collaboration, FlexScanMD has integrated with drchrono’s EHR system and practice management platform. Therefore, all updates will show up in both FlexScanMD and drchrono. This prevents users from having to manually copy and paste information and double check the data in different systems.
“This partnership will create a seamless and unified workflow that will help make practices more profitable and through error reduction, improve patient outcomes,” Aaron Gerber, FlexScanMD’s director of business development, noted in a news release.
FlexScanMD’s cloud-based platform has a variety of unique components. For example, certain medical practices can use the tool to track profits, commissions and sales on the items they sell.
As drchrono cofounder and COO Daniel Kivatinos said in a statement:
Reducing Clinical and Staff Burnout with AI Automation
As technology advances, AI-powered tools will increasingly reduce the administrative burdens on healthcare providers.
The desire to accurately track inventory is growing and is key to improving efficiency among medical practices nationwide. FlexScanMD is a powerful tool with a wide range of features that will enable medical staff to accomplish this. This new integration makes drchrono’s platform an even more versatile and robust system.
In addition to this deal, drchrono has been busy in 2017.
In February, it inked a deal with Physitrack, a telehealth company that supports remote physical therapy monitoring and patient engagement. Physitrack CEO Henrik Molin said Apple’s Mobility Partner Program played a key role in bringing the two organizations together.
In April, the Sunnyvale, California-based startup unveiled a $12 million Series A funding round led by Runa Capital. FundersClub, Maxfield Capital and Quicken CEO Eric Dunn also participated.
