I actually had to go in for a colonoscopy the other day. The next day when I got home from work, my wife said, "The doctor called with your colonoscopy results. Good news - they found your head.”

All jokes aside, in advance of pMD’s attendance at the upcoming GI Outlook conference hosted by ASGE (American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy) this week, we want to share a little more than just GI-related humor. If your gastroenterology practice is interested in improving efficiencies and ultimately patient care, you have come to the right place!

Our mobile charge capture and advanced rounding tools enable providers to easily capture and submit hospital charges in real-time, reducing charge lag from weeks to less than a day. In fact, gastroenterology groups using pMD have reduced their charge lag from 14 days to just 0.2 days.

Our custom suite of powerful, efficient, and intuitive technology allows health care teams to communicate and capture data at the point of care, improving accuracy and ROI.

For example, an average 50-provider practice can realize close to $400K per year in additional revenue by implementing a proactive process around transitions of care. pMD’s automated discharge alerts and scheduling instructions make managing this process a breeze, helping grow outpatient practices in the process. With the help of our robust analytics dashboard, practices can easily follow up with patients, reduce readmissions, and recognize Transitional Care Management (TCM) revenue.

Ultimately, it all comes down to streamlining physician workflows. When providers and staff are equipped with the right tools to enhance productivity and increase collaboration for rounding and hand-offs, consult notifications, billing and secure communication, they can spend less time worrying about processes and more time caring for patients.

But don’t just take our word for it:

"The most common question I am asked about pMD has nothing to do with its use; my doctors and staff want to know why we didn't get pMD years ago. Hospital billing lag time and lost charges have all but been eliminated. The secure messaging feature works great on both provider cell phones and staff desktops. We had high hopes that pMD might improve our operations...seamless integration with existing systems and workflows, better secure messaging, and a reduction in lost charges and billing lag time. pMD has surpassed these high hopes and become one of the best investments made in my 25-plus years of managing medical practices."

- Lucien Roberts, Gastrointestinal Specialists, Inc., Virginia

"The doctors love it, we love it! We are much more efficient with pMD. We're able to track charges better, and bridge the gap of missing charges. It's easier to maintain over paper and has made our process so much easier. pMD has helped us reduce charge lag by at least 75 percent. We also love the ability to message within a particular patient record. It helps our messaging organization, and allows for faster messaging overall by not having to retype patient information into the message. Everyone references the correct patient immediately and as a result, responses come much faster.”

- Tamra Crespo, Coding Compliance Team Lead, Austin Gastro, Texas
