Check-In Integration

PracticeStudio's Patient Tracking function integrates with the Check-In/Check-Out process and the Provider Dashboard, as well as allowing you to monitor patients' locations within your facility in real-time and to see how long they were in each location:

  • During the check-in process, view details pertaining to the patient's visit agenda, provider, financial class, balance, existing appointments, and insurance plans,
  • Print a routing slip upon check-in, and
  • Immediately begin tracking the patient's location after check-in—as well as how long he/she has been in your clinic, down to the second.

Tracking Patient Movement

  • Move the patient from the waiting room to a different room within your facility; room names are user-defined, and there's no limit to the number of rooms you can add.
  • If there's a PracticeStudio workstation in the room with the patient, view the name of the clinic staff member in the room with him/her (i.e. the security user currently logged in to the workstation).
  • At any point during or after the patient's visit, view details that include
    • Each room the patient was moved to,
    • Which security user logged the move,
    • What time the move occurred, and
    • How long the patient was in each location.

Check-Out Integration

Check the patient out directly from the Patient Tracking screen:

  • Review details pertaining to the patient's balance, insurance plans, current transactions, and the minimum amount to collect.
  • Capture a photo of the patient using a digital camera and/or the patient's digital signature using a signature pad.
  • Open the PracticeStudio Appointment Scheduler to set up future appointments.
  • View information about existing future appointments.
  • Print an appointment card and/or a visit receipt.
  • View notifications and warnings on the patient's file (e.g. that the patient has not yet been notified of HIPAA regulations).
