Is the report from the computer so loaded with information that it takes a long time to read?
All the information supplied by the patient is in the report, but it is organized in such a way that it is easy to read and assimilate.
Use of the computer and its program of signs and symptoms allows you to consider causes, conditions and diseases that may not normally suggest themselves to you.
So, use of this program can assist in making diagnoses?
Yes, and use of the program has been shown to reduce unintentional diagnostic errors which may delay correct treatment.
I need consistent records. Will the program supply them?
Definitely. The report that the computer produces will standardize procedures and records for each patient.
What if I want to keep using the management system currently in use in my practice?
No problem. The PrimeCare System will integrate with your existing management system. You can have the best of both worlds.
Does the system fulfill all the requirements of the documentation guidelines for Evaluation and Management codes?
Yes, it does. The E/M codes have been reviewed by competent authorities and are accurately calculated in real time for each patient encounter.
Will the computer report provide the information necessary for third party reimbursement?
All billings sent to third parties for reimbursement should accurately reflect the true level of the physician's diagnostic processes. The E/M codes provided by the PrimeCare System will ensure the accuracy of claims sent from your office.
Will my patients be receptive to the use of computers in an information gathering context?

Are patients comfortable giving personal information to a computer?
Some persons actually find it much easier to answer personal questions in this way. Often they are willing to provide more information to an impersonal machine that ensures their personal privacy. Furthermore, there is no sense of urgency or fear of wasting time when using the computer.
How will the privacy of my patients be guaranteed?
Private information provided by patients is stored in a secure data base inaccessible to unauthorized persons. It is, however, accessible to you at any time.
Will use of computers increase the time patients spend at my office?
