Software Solutions for Sleep Doctors
Diagnosing and helping sleep deprived patients is one thing but what happens if the number of patients suddenly start to swell? Apparently the patient record management will bear the brunt of this as maintaining patient records is as valuable as paying for sleep cures these days.
Thanks to Sagittarius Software, sleep doctors will be spared from the burden of perhaps failing to monitor their patients as well as their progress to treatment. To some, it may not be a big help but if you look forward and take into consideration that sleep deprived individuals are growing heftily by the minute, then perhaps the investment is something that deserves a second choice.
Besides, sleep specialists may be the victim of their own decision to forego this assistance as well. And for sure, no professional sleep doctor would want that.
Cox estimates that only about 13 percent of health-care providers who are sole practitioners have an electronic records-management system; the rest still rely on a paper-based process. Not only are these systems subject to inaccuracies and imprecision, he said, but a previous patient who returns after a few years will have no history.
“After a few years, old paper records are put into long-tern storage, which is impossible to retrieve,” Cox said. “So you’re lucky if they can find an old chart at all.”
