Delivering exceptional foot and ankle care requires more than clinical skill—it demands documentation accuracy, efficient workflows, and specialty-specific tools that support the unique requirements of podiatric medicine. As healthcare technology continues to evolve, the one-size-fits-all approach to electronic medical records (EMR) no longer meets the demands of specialty care providers. That’s why forward-thinking clinics are turning to podiatry EMR systems designed exclusively for their field.

At Complete Healthcare Solutions (CHS), we recognize that podiatrists need more than a general EMR with a podiatry module tacked on. Our podiatry EMR—available through our customizable UnifiMD platform—is tailored to reflect the real workflows, documentation needs, and clinical precision required in today’s foot and ankle practices. From wound care to orthotics, our podiatry EMR helps providers save time, reduce errors, and elevate the quality of care they deliver.

What Makes a Podiatry EMR Different?

Podiatry is a highly specialized field involving treatments ranging from conservative therapies and minor procedures to complex surgeries. A general EMR system often lacks the templates, tools, and clinical vocabulary needed to capture the detail and nuance of this type of care. The podiatry EMR we provide at CHS is built specifically with these needs in mind.

What sets it apart:

  • Podiatry-Specific Templates: Our system includes templates for nail care, wound debridement, diabetic foot exams, orthotic fittings, tendon repairs, ulcer tracking, and more.

  • Foot-Specific Anatomical Diagrams: Providers can annotate diagrams to mark pain points, injury locations, or postoperative progress, streamlining both documentation and communication with patients.

  • Built-in Coding Assistance: The system automatically generates appropriate ICD-10 and CPT codes based on visit details—minimizing rejections and saving time.

Instead of forcing podiatrists to adapt to a generic EMR, our platform meets them where they are—clinically, operationally, and financially.

Faster, Smarter Documentation

In a busy practice, time is a critical resource. Podiatrists need to complete notes quickly while maintaining accuracy and detail. Our podiatry EMR includes:

  • Point-and-click documentation for common diagnoses and procedures

  • Pre-populated templates that can be customized to individual provider preferences

  • Drop-down lists for frequent entries to eliminate repetitive typing

  • Dictation support and voice-to-text features for hands-free charting

By automating and streamlining the note-taking process, podiatrists using our system spend less time documenting and more time interacting with patients. CHS also works directly with each practice to personalize the podiatry EMR interface so that every screen, workflow, and template reflects how providers prefer to work.

Precision in Billing With Integrated Revenue Tools

A common challenge in podiatry is navigating the complexity of billing rules for procedures like nail avulsions, custom orthotics, or diabetic foot care. With our podiatry EMR, clinical documentation flows directly into billing—ensuring accurate coding and faster reimbursements.

UnifiMD integrates billing features such as:

  • Real-time eligibility checks (CMS payer verification)

  • Code validation tools that suggest proper modifiers and diagnosis-code pairings

  • Electronic claims submission through a built-in clearinghouse

  • Payment posting and denial tracking with alerts for follow-up

Because the podiatry EMR connects with both clinical and billing systems, it ensures that documentation supports the codes billed—reducing denials, eliminating redundant data entry, and improving the overall financial health of the practice.

Enhancing the Patient Experience

Today’s healthcare consumers want more transparency, convenience, and communication from their providers. That’s why our podiatry EMR includes built-in tools that support a seamless, patient-centered experience:

  • Secure messaging for pre- and post-visit questions

  • Digital intake forms to streamline check-in

  • Appointment reminders to reduce no-shows

  • Patient portals for viewing results, reviewing instructions, and requesting refills

This level of accessibility not only improves satisfaction but also strengthens patient compliance—especially critical for those managing chronic foot conditions like neuropathy, plantar fasciitis, or post-surgical recovery.

With UnifiMD’s podiatry EMR, patients stay informed and engaged, and practices experience fewer missed appointments and more consistent follow-up care.

Designed for Real-World Podiatry Workflows

Unlike primary care, podiatry offices often juggle a mix of in-office procedures, wound care follow-ups, injection visits, biomechanical assessments, and surgical consultations. A specialty EMR must reflect this pace and variety. Our podiatry EMR does just that.

Included features:

  • Quick templates for in-office procedures such as cortisone injections or matrixectomies

  • Image capture tools for tracking wound healing and post-operative status

  • Integrated referrals to imaging, labs, or durable medical equipment providers

  • Progress tracking dashboards to view healing over time

By aligning digital tools with daily operations, CHS ensures that your podiatry EMR supports rather than slows down your team.

HIPAA-Compliant and Secure by Design

Security is essential when dealing with protected health information (PHI)—especially when it includes detailed imaging or wound documentation. Our podiatry EMR is built with advanced security features to ensure compliance with HIPAA and other regulatory standards.

Core security measures include:

  • Data encryption at rest and in transit

  • Role-based access to limit user permissions

  • Audit trails to track user activity

  • Cloud hosting with redundancy for reliable, off-site data backup

We take privacy and security seriously, giving providers peace of mind and patients confidence that their health data is protected.

Scalable and Adaptable to Your Practice’s Growth

Whether you’re an independent provider in a single office or managing a multi-location clinic, our podiatry EMR grows with you. CHS supports:

  • Multi-provider, multi-location installations

  • User-specific dashboards and permissions

  • Add-on modules for inventory, telehealth, or specialty billing

  • Custom reports to monitor provider performance, procedure mix, and revenue trends

When your practice is ready to expand—whether through new services, providers, or locations—you won’t need to replace your EMR. You’ll simply scale the system you already know and trust.
