In today’s healthcare environment, efficiency isn’t optional—it’s essential. Every hour wasted on cumbersome documentation, denied claims, or outdated workflows is time that could be spent caring for patients or strengthening your practice’s bottom line. The right electronic medical records (EMR) system should not only support compliance but also drive productivity across every part of your organization.
For many practices, Aprima EMR has become a trusted solution. Known for its adaptive workflows, one-screen navigation, and integrated billing features, Aprima is a proven tool for providers seeking to streamline operations. But at Complete Healthcare Solutions (CHS), we also help practices maximize efficiency with UnifiMD—a platform that offers the same features as Aprima and, in many cases, even greater flexibility, automation, and support.
This blog explores how Aprima EMR improves efficiency and how UnifiMD, powered by CHS, takes practice performance to the next level.
Documentation Efficiency: Reducing Clicks and Saving Time
Documentation is one of the most time-consuming aspects of clinical practice. Providers spend hours each day entering information, which can lead to fatigue and frustration if the system isn’t designed for speed.
Aprima EMR’s Documentation Advantage
-
Single-Screen Design: Aprima places charting, prescribing, labs, and task management in one view, reducing the need to jump between modules.
-
Adaptive Workflows: The more you use Aprima, the smarter it becomes—learning your habits and presenting tools in the order you need them.
-
Voice Recognition and Point-and-Click Templates: Providers can chart faster using intuitive templates or dictation, all while maintaining compliance.
This focus on usability translates directly into time saved and fewer errors.
How UnifiMD May Be Even Better
UnifiMD includes all of Aprima’s documentation features and expands on them with:
-
Custom Templates Configured by CHS: Tailored to your specialty and practice style, so documentation feels natural from day one.
-
Shortcut Commands: Personalized voice and keyboard commands for even faster note-taking.
-
Advanced Workflow Automation: Automated task routing ensures the right staff member is notified instantly, reducing bottlenecks.
Together, these enhancements mean providers spend less time on paperwork and more time with patients.
Billing Integration That Boosts Productivity
An efficient practice isn’t just about clinical care—it’s also about financial performance. Disjointed systems often slow down revenue cycles, leaving staff to chase claims or rework denials.
Aprima EMR’s Billing Strengths
Aprima bridges the gap between clinical documentation and billing with:
-
Claims Generated from Visit Notes: No need to re-enter information.
-
Eligibility Checks in Real Time: Catch issues before services are delivered.
-
Claims Tracking Inside the EMR: Transparency across the revenue cycle.
How UnifiMD Enhances Billing Workflows
UnifiMD mirrors these capabilities but may provide even more value for efficiency-minded practices:
-
Automated Denial Prevention: Built-in validation tools flag potential issues before claims are submitted.
-
Customizable Billing Rules: Reflect specialty-specific requirements, from modifiers to payer-specific nuances.
-
Financial Dashboards: Administrators gain real-time visibility into reimbursements, productivity, and cash flow.
By combining billing automation with actionable insights, UnifiMD ensures revenue flows smoothly without burdening staff.
Patient Engagement That Lightens the Load
Patient communication is critical to both satisfaction and efficiency. Practices that lack strong engagement tools often face overworked staff, high no-show rates, and frustrated patients.
Aprima’s Patient Engagement Tools
-
Secure Patient Portal: Patients can view records, request appointments, and send messages.
-
Medication Refill Requests: Reduce phone calls and streamline prescription management.
-
Appointment Reminders: Automated notifications that lower no-shows.
These features free staff from repetitive administrative tasks while improving patient satisfaction.
How UnifiMD Strengthens Engagement
UnifiMD includes all of Aprima’s engagement capabilities, with the potential for even more efficiency through:
-
Digital Check-In: Patients complete forms before arriving, minimizing front-desk delays.
-
Customizable Reminder Campaigns: Tailored by specialty, visit type, or patient group.
-
Survey and Feedback Automation: Automatically collect insights to improve care and streamline reporting.
By automating more touchpoints, UnifiMD reduces phone traffic and empowers patients to take charge of their healthcare journey.
Mobility and Scalability for a Modern Practice
Efficient care requires flexibility. Providers need to document from anywhere, collaborate across locations, and support patients through telehealth.
Aprima EMR’s Mobile Access
-
Secure Mobile App: Providers can view schedules, notes, and labs on the go.
-
Messaging Integration: Stay connected with patients and staff from any device.
UnifiMD’s Scalable Advantage
UnifiMD matches these features and offers:
-
Multi-Location Scalability: Easily add providers, specialties, or office locations.
-
Telehealth Optimization: Streamlined integrations for video visits and remote documentation.
-
Team Collaboration Tools: Keep distributed staff aligned with shared tasks and messaging.
For practices preparing to grow, UnifiMD ensures efficiency isn’t lost in the transition.
