Features Overview

Busy medical offices can often be chaotic. Most physicians have multiple patients waiting to be seen at once. Patient charts, even if they are easily located, can be lengthy and cumbersome, with many pages.

Electronic medical records (EMR) allow you to view a patient’s entire record on a single screen, presenting conditions, medications and allergies. EMRs help to reduce the incidence of medical errors. Prescription writing and refill management becomes a breeze using a drug database and complete local pharmacy listings. Patients receive better, more personalized care. And benchmarking of care and continuous quality improvement become a reality through enhanced reporting capabilities.

Increased Profitability.

Do you know what your hidden costs are? Lost charges. Administrative expenses. Services never billed or reimbursed.

More precise coding and electronic charge capture mean you get paid for all the services you deliver. Collections improve through enhanced claims management capabilities. Electronic medical records reduce the expense of printing, faxing, copying and transcription—giving you a healthier bottom line.
Faster Reimbursement.

Lengthy claims processes can drag on for months, depending on the payer. Electronic billing can significantly shorten the number of days in accounts receivable. Current Alteer clients report payment in as little as seven days.

Alteer positions you for a future that will soon demand that all claims be submitted electronically.
Enhanced Practice Efficiency.

Patient flow in medical offices can often be cumbersome. Lengthy waits mean less satisfied patients and missed appointments cost you money. Alteer technology is based on workflow. Lost charts are a thing of the past. Patient management becomes seamless because you can track patients through every contact point in the office. Monitoring staff productivity becomes a breeze. You and your staff work smarter in less time. Ongoing training is available to ensure that your employees are well versed in managing patients, processes and technology.
Simplified and Less Stressful Work Environment.

Busy offices demand efficient patient flow, great staff productivity and excellent communication between patients, physicians and staff. Electronic patient records ensure streamlined documentation of patient encounters. Instant access to patient records enhances communication within the practice and with patients. Patients receive better, more personalized care. A more efficient patient flow ensures a more controlled, responsive office environment—and the satisfaction of having delivered another day of great medical care.
Be Prepared for the Future.

Best practices. Pay-for-performance. Continuous quality improvement. These are more than just buzzwords. Reimbursement will soon become tied to performance. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has already announced its intention to tie reimbursement to outcomes. Alteer Premiere positions you well for a reimbursement future based on pay-for-performance.
