Introduction

OutPatientPro: A Full Suite of Software Options for Surgery Centers and Office-Based Labs
OutPatientPro is a full suite of software options for Surgery Centers and Office-Based Labs. It offers unique single sign-on capabilities, allowing users to toggle between applications with true interoperability. William noticed that affordability, interoperability, and ease of use were common pain points for healthcare facilities. OutPatientPro seeks to address these issues with its cloud-based, mobile-friendly EHR.
Hard Server vs. Cloud-Based Option for Surgery Centers
According to William, 70% of surgery centers still run some form of electronic medical record on a hard server, due to cost and accessibility issues. Meanwhile, 35% of surgery centers still use paper charts or cloud-based services. OutPatientPro aims to make migration to technology easier for surgery centers, by offering an easy-to-use tablet experience that replicates the paper chart.
Addressing Gaps in Interoperability
OutPatientPro provides software applications to help fill in gaps in interoperability between hospitals, practices, and surgery centers. The platform has revolutionized how everyone can be on one platform, even if they are on different legacy systems. The company has also developed a patient portal to reduce onboarding time for new patients.
Future of Healthcare Technology
William sees blockchain technology having a big role in the healthcare industry, with everyone carrying their medical records in their wallet. He plans to launch a blockchain application for the company by the end of 2023.
Conclusion
OutPatientPro is an excellent example of how technology helps healthcare by addressing specific needs. As the healthcare industry continues to develop and grow, software companies like OutPatientPro will pave the way for the future of healthcare.
