It’s October, and Health Literacy Month has arrived. At WRS Health, we believe that health literacy is key to empowering patients to take control of their well-being. This October, we’re celebrating the importance of clear, accessible health information for everyone. Here are 5 simple ways you can empower your patients to understand their health: Simplify Patient Portals: Use an EHR patient portal built for easy navigation. Use clear language, larger fonts, and icons to make it user-friendly for patients of all ages and abilities. Automated Health Education: Leverage your EHR’s automated messaging to send patients personalized educational materials, such as post-visit instructions, health tips, and disease management resources. Interactive Patient Summaries: Offer summaries of visits, lab results, and treatment plans in plain language. Incorporate visuals, such as graphs or charts, to help patients understand their health trends. Utilize Patient Surveys: Use EHR-integrated patient surveys to gauge how well patients understand their care plans and health information. These surveys can reveal gaps in comprehension, allowing practices to tailor their communication strategies and improve patient education. Engage with Secure Messaging: Encourage patients to use the secure messaging feature within your EHR for follow-up questions, offering them an easy and private way to clarify their health information.

Are claim rejections eating into your practice's revenue? Most claim rejections stem from incorrect patient info entered at check-in. By ensuring proper patient registration and using automated eligibility checks, you can reduce rejections to below 2.5%. Other steps you can take to optimize your billing are: 1. Streamline Registration: Capture patient data through your portal before the visit to avoid bottlenecks. 2. Automated Eligibility Checks: Implement real-time insurance verification before every appointment. 3. Clean Claims Submission: Review local coverage decisions and modifiers to ensure acceptance.
