Patient Pre-Registration Services:

Patient pre-registration is an important strategy for both on-boarding as well as the intake process that's sometimes slowed down with skewed data collection and administrative tasks. By gathering the patient intake materials before the appointment, pre-registration process aids companies deliver a higher quality experience for the consumer along with increased patient satisfaction.

Patient pre-registration is a complicated task which requires a fair amount of patient data which comprises:

• Patient's demographic data
• Patient referral or appointment scheduling
• Patient's health history
• Health insurance coverage
• Patient orientation

Post-discharge Follow-up:

A well-crafted post-discharge follow-up program can help your practice mitigate re-admissions and gain patient's satisfaction. Post-discharge follow-up goals can be achieved by following certain strategies:

• Confirm patient's understanding or teach-back: Most patients are often confused while leaving the hospital. Reviewing discharge instructions and handing over a photocopy doesn't usually ensure their understanding.
  So, a method called teach back provides them an effective follow-up care that ensures and improves their understanding of diagnosis, medical regimen, prognosis etc.
• Reduce medication confusion: 4 out of 10 elderly patients are unable to take the prescribed dosages because of inappropriate knowledge about their medication. So, a follow-up to make them understand about their medication helps them recover swifter.
• Set follow-up appointments: People often forget or overlook the follow-up appointments. So, calling them to ensure that follow-up appointments are made is an effective strategy to ensure re-admissions.

Patient follow-up calls:

Follow-up calls ensure that you are still concerned about the patient's case even after the discharge. For instance, if there is a case of appealing a claim, then some additional activities are needed such as, submitting data to a third party for review. As this is a long process, so it's vital to live up to the patient's expectations and satisfy them by informing then of the duration of the said process.
