Why is a Digital Clinical Dashboard Useful for Medical Practices?

Secure digital dashboard technology captures and stores real-time updates relevant to your healthcare practice. With a clinical dashboard, the information you need to run a successful practice is at your fingertips, enabling you to make the best decisions for your patients, your staff, and the success of your business. 

Clinical Dashboards give you the ability to track many different types of data, including: 

• patient-clinician ratios
• patient trends, outcomes, and care plan adherence
• office workflow
• aggregated billable time

and more. 

Access data via your Clinical Digital Dashboard for a clear overview of how your patients are complying with their care plan and medication regimen. Use real-time data to measure patient satisfaction and retention and optimize your practice’s performance.

Four compelling reasons to use a Digital Clinical Dashboard:

Digital Clinical Dashboards come in many different forms. Some measure your practice’s clinical or financial health, while others are patient focused. At PainScript, we’ve created a HIPAA-compliant Digital Dashboard, used in conjunction with our medication and care plan adherence platform, that helps physicians better manage their chronic care patients. Here are four major reasons to use a dashboard like ours. 

1. Dashboards help you treat patients more accurately using real-time data

Real-time data is information that is available immediately upon collection. This data can include patient and physician input, patient self-assessments, information from wearable health monitors, input from smart medical devices, and more.

Few patients accurately recall every detail of their care plan or medication regimen. Using a digital dashboard can help practices track which patients are following their plan of care and which need additional support and reminders. 

Real-time data can also provide physicians with the ability to immediately identify patients who display troubling symptoms or express concerns about their care plan. This can help practices be more responsive to patient needs. 

Easy access to real-time data means you can deliver quality care to your patient and protect your practice from potential litigation. 

2. Clinical Dashboards enable clinical staff to escalate patients who need focused attention 

Monitoring patients between regular office visits is invaluable but time-consuming. This is especially true of those patients with chronic pain or substance use disorder issues. The PainScript dashboard serves as an early warning system, alerting your staff to clinically significant adverse events so they can escalate care as needed. Using the PainScript dashboard also helps to avoid the “phone tag” common to non-digital patient management. 

Many studies find regular interactions between health professionals and patients significantly increase patient treatment plan and medication adherence. Daily check-ins are optimal, encouraging patients to be engaged in their health and often leading to better health outcomes. 

3. Clinical Dashboards record data to protect your practice in case of lawsuits or litigation
   
   Clinical Dashboards make electronically preserved patient and practice data accessible in case of lawsuit or litigation. Data stored in our dashboard includes:
   

• Daily patient data  
• Complete medication history and compliance record
• Supporting documentation for legitimacy of diagnosis codes
• Real-time data of patient symptoms, conditions, and interventions
  
  

4. Stay HIPAA compliant with patient data 

Your PainScript Clinical Dashboard is HIPAA-compliant, using the highest encryption standards to ensure all patient data is protected and private. This means the Clinical Dashboard features:

• Security controls in place to ensure data privacy 
• Encryption during documentation, transmission, and storage of data
• Secure email and text transmissions

The PainScript platform supports a Digital Clinical Dashboard that is secure, HIPAA-compliant, and delivers real-time data so you can provide quality patient care while streamlining your practice. Want to find out more or see a demo? Contact us today.
