May 31, 2022

GCM ‘s Using Paper Bad Business Decision

What are the advantages of a database for care managers?Some care managers still function on paper instead of using a care management database. That is a bad business decision. A paper record is easily exposed, letting anyone see it, transcribe details, make a copy or even scan or fax the information to a third party. In contrast, electronic records 0r a database can be protected with robust encryption methods to keep crucial patient information secure from prying eyes. Keeping your patients’ records secure involves much more than controlling access to confidential information. You also need to make sure that the data will be available under worst-case scenarios.

The Advantages of a database- easy to give clients gold standard service to make more money.

The advantage of a database to care managers, is you retain clients by arming your care management staff with the most user-friendly fully loaded client database. This makes their gold standard concierge care so much easier to deliver. This gives your business a more profitable bottom line in running your business. So spending money on a client database makes you more money and saves you time while making that money.

What are the advantages of a database for care managers?

1. Using a database rather than paper will increase your revenue by 30%. You enter case notes and billing in real-time rather than hours later when you get back to the office when you forget the exact billing time.

2. Improves the quality of care… for your client by being able to quickly document and used the saved time for working with your client.

3. Speed and Efficiency. ..when a team member needs to share client information with other team members, it should be easy and a database makes this sharing fast

4. Improves communication… between you as a care manager and other healthcare professionals you work with within the community

5. Saves time and money… getting rid of the extra work and time of double-entry,

6. Legibility and Accuracy. .. enhancing the readability, availability, and easy accessibility of information

7. Comply with courts …if your notes are requested by the courts they are readable and organized as geriatric care managers work with many dysfunctional families where there is often fiscal or physical abuse ending in the courtroom

8. Protect the environment … by not generating tons of paper which is critical now with climate change

9. More Space… Computerizing a paper system can create additional space, as there is no longer a need to store a large volume of paper records or files. …

10. Reduces cost… by not paying for storage space to keep 7 years of client information in written form for IRS requirements
