Risk Management

Ambulatory practices and clinics are significant sources of liability risk. Manual systems in the back office and disjointed practice management systems are inadequate to handle the increasing burden of clinical transaction management, especially when exacerbated by the mounting patient volumes imposed by Managed Care Mandates.

Multi-specialty clinics or hospitals providing ambulatory primary care services are at significant risk for errors of omission. And hospitals or other IDN entities which are acquiring practices are acquiring new sources of risk.

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!

To follow are just a few of the reported pitfalls ambulatory care practices suffer with inadequate risk management, leading to poor patient outcomes. All are prevented or reduced by LabTrak™:

	Failure to recognize lost lab specimens or overdue results
	Misplaced or misfiled lab reports
	Inadvertent handling of abnormal lab or diagnostic center reports without physician input
	Failure to notify patients of abnormal test results
	Failure to perform indicated obstetric testing
	Ignoring missed appointments of patients for follow-up of abnormal tests, in-house or referred
	Failure to track prescriptions and refills
	Insufficient access to crucial patient data leading to impaired clinical decision-making
	Liability Risk Management
	Productivity Improvement
	Enhanced Patient Flows
	Automated Patient Follow-up
	Insurance Mandates Database by Lab
	Computerized Clinical Data
