Frequently Asked Questions About
PV Urgent Care Solutions
Isn't it a big financial risk to try a new charting system in my urgent care center?
No. Simply trying Practice Velocity Templates costs you nothing. If at any time during your initial 30-day trial period, you find that the system does not meet the needs of your urgent care center or it does not completely pay for itself, you just notify us within the 30-day trial period, discontinue our services, and you will owe us nothing. So your biggest risk is really this. If you don't use Practice Velocity Templates and if they will really produce all these benefits for your urgent care center--then every day you delay implementing Practice Velocity is another day that your center will miss out on the benefits of increased efficiency and profitability.
Why not go immediately to an expensive full-blown Electronic Medical Record (EMR) in my urgent care center?
This is a reasonable option for some. However, implementation usually takes 13 years. The cost is usually in the six-figure range and you generally sign a binding contract where you pay even if it's a dud. Hardware costs are often $20,000-$50,000 per site. Few EMRs have data documenting that the system pays for itself. No EMR is likely to speed up your providers; indeed, most slow down documentation. Only a few EMRs truly code your visit, and Practice Velocity is the only coding system specifically designed to code the urgent care patient visit.
Practice Velocity takes 12 days to implement in the typical urgent care center, you only pay for what you use, you are not bound to PV for any time period, hardware costs are minimal, clients find it pays for itself, and it speeds up documentation.
Can I store other urgent care medical records such as EKGs, labs, referral letters, etc.?
Yes. With the Practice Velocity Storage module you can scan, store and index any paper document that you generate or receive in your urgent care center. This product is very affordable, and customers already using Practice Velocity PiVoTs get a 50% price discount.
HIPAA Compliant EMR
When used as directed, your records are uploaded, stored, and accessed in strict compliance with HIPAA guidelines. You control who in your office can access records.
