Allscripts® Practice Management clients who
upgrade to the 21.0 release will have the opportunity to access AI
functionality
Allscripts (NASDAQ MDRX) Guided Scheduling, launching in
Allscripts Practice Management, is an artificial intelligence
scheduling application that uses real-time provider, practice, and
industry data to optimize providers’ days. The system looks at key
clinical and operational metrics, allowing users to appropriately
schedule each patient visit. Allscripts Guided Scheduling can
result in the increased speed of high-need patients receiving care,
the improved utilization of all resources across an organization,
and the reduction of the impact of schedule churn
(no-shows/last-minute changes and cancellations).
By embedding this functionality in the existing Allscripts
Practice Management scheduling solution, set-up and configuration
of Allscripts Guided Scheduling is designed to be simple, enabling
system users to have minimal disruption to their existing
workflows. One client, The Orthopedic Center in Easton, MD, has
also used this functionality to onboard new staff members
quickly.
“Our orthopedic practice is made up of various
fellowship-trained orthopedic physicians along with physiatrists,
physician assistants, nurse practitioners and rehabilitative
services,” said Tracy E. Lyons, practice manager at The Orthopedic
Center. “We originally looked at enabling Allscripts Guided
Scheduling to optimize our scheduling but put it on the back burner
due to all the challenges we faced with the pandemic. As we were
navigating our way through staff shortages and training new staff,
we decided that Guided Scheduling could ease the lengthy time it
takes to train new staff by using our data and the predictive
analytics now built into Allscripts Practice Management to onboard
new staff members quicker than we have been able to in the
past.”
Tina Joros, Allscripts Vice President and General Manager for
Allscripts Practice Management, said, “I am very pleased for
Allscripts to deliver Allscripts Guided Scheduling to our clients
in our latest release. Leveraging real-time data, artificial
intelligence, and proven principles from other industries can be a
game changer for our clients and the entire healthcare market. Our
goal is to continuously enhance our solutions to help our clients
meet their practice goals and Guided Scheduling is a tool that can
help them significantly in this effort.”
To deliver this solution, Allscripts partnered with Opargo to
embed its engine within the application. Paul Wiley, Co-Founder and
CEO of Opargo said, “I can’t be more excited to see this solution
come to life with Allscripts. It is the perfect balance of
market-leading technology within an existing workflow to deliver
incredible results.”
Allscripts Guided Scheduling is the most recent example of the
company’s focus on automation features in Allscripts Practice
Management. Other solutions include Billing Automation, Automated
Self-Pay Collections, and System Rule Manager. These solutions
provide users with the ability to configure and manage highly
customizable workflows that can streamline repetitive
administrative steps within areas of an organization’s revenue
cycle, enabling providers to focus on the care of their patients
while Allscripts helps address the practice.
