In a sector as competitive as osteopathy, it is imperative to stand out. While the decor of your medical practice is an excellent way to showcase your expertise and build patient confidence through anatomical charts, you must also ensure you are equipped with the right digital tools.
GDPR compliance, optimizing your working time, sharing patient records... In the digital age, managing your osteopathy practice with generic software like Word or Excel is becoming a very risky gamble.
By investing in specialized patient management software, however, you stack the odds in your favor. En Chair et en Os explains why.
1. Good software to optimize your working time
2. Good software to protect your patient data
3. Good software to share files with your associate or substitute
4. Good software to benefit from a network of experts and get all the best tips!
Beautiful decor and good software to optimize your working time
Choosing the right anatomical charts for your osteopathy practice can greatly improve the quality of your practice and patient satisfaction. These detailed and accurate visual aids can facilitate communication with your patients by helping to explain the anatomical issues underlying their pain or discomfort. Furthermore, they can also be used as educational tools to help patients understand their bodies and take charge of their health.
Admittedly, office software such as Word and Excel has this advantage: in general, you already own it and are quite proficient in it. But to use it for managing your patient list, imagining you are saving time and money? In reality, it is quite the opposite.
There are now many software programs specifically designed for managing osteopathy practices... and they are offered at very attractive prices! Equipped with all the essential features, without burdening you with unnecessary options, they give you access to tools perfectly suited to your work as an osteopath. Designed to make your life easier, they will save you a maximum amount of time!
En Chair et en Os has entered into a partnership with Milou, an osteopath software rated 5 stars on Google and one of the leaders in the sector.
One-click billing system, patient review request option, easy file sharing between practitioners and associates: Milou is a comprehensive software that has more than one trick up its sleeve. And yet, it remains easy to use. Clear, intuitive, it is also characterized by its modularity: patient file templates are entirely customizable to meet the specific needs of everyone!
Good software to protect your patient data
Having come into effect in 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) authorizes you to collect and store personal data for strictly medical purposes and provided that certain rules are respected.
As an osteopath, you are responsible for the security and confidentiality of the patient data you save.
Although it is possible, storage on a computer imposes a certain number of constraints, not to mention a rigorous discipline. In addition to encrypting your data and using strong and unique passwords, you will need to ensure you make very (very) regular backups on an external drive, because in the event of a computer failure, you are heading straight for disaster!
There is an alternative that is both safer and simpler: online storage on an HADS server (Approved Health Data Host) or, better yet, on an HDS server (Health Data Host). The HDS server is the most protective international standard, and therefore the option chosen by the best osteopathic software.
Not only does Milou software use HDS servers, but it also performs an automatic daily backup of your data. And for even more security, this backup is rolling, meaning that backups from previous days are kept temporarily to avoid any risk of data loss.
Finally, online software allows you to access your patient data wherever you are. Constantly updated, it guarantees optimal protection of all your content and allows you to stay GDPR compliant without worrying about it.
Good software to share files with your associate or substitute
You get the idea: ease and security are the watchwords for osteopathic software, and the tools offered are always developed with this in mind.
A slightly more concrete example? As in any medical sector, osteopaths may have to work with associates or substitutes. Milou has therefore thought about managing shared practices 😉
In the context of a collaboration or a substitution, you can invite or be invited by another practitioner to manage the same patient base together for the duration of the contract. The software's administrative and accounting aspects have also been designed to make your life easier: one-click, compliant billing for all members of the practice, automatic calculation of retrocessions and fees, data protection, and GDPR compliance.
You can therefore share your patient records between colleagues, easily and without worrying about the security of your data 👌
A much simpler and more reassuring solution than managing patient records with Word, on a computer that stays in the practice and with backups on a USB stick lying around everywhere 🙄
Great software to benefit from a network of experts and find out about all the best deals!
By subscribing to the Milou osteo software, you gain access to numerous tools useful for your work as an osteopath, but you also surround yourself with a human team that keeps you updated on all the latest news and updates. Accounting, administration, legislation... Milou is there to answer all your questions as a self-employed professional!
Finally, Milou shows you plenty of great deals and offers you, via its Works Council, numerous discounts for furnishing your osteopathy practice. En Chair et en Os is obviously one of our partners 😉
Because while it is important to equip yourself with the right digital tools to help you stand out, don't forget that the layout and decor of your osteopathy practice will also contribute to your reputation. With creativity and good taste, the decoration of your practice can even become a conversation starter for your patients and stimulate word-of-mouth!
And if you take the opportunity to showcase your professionalism and medical expertise, that's even better! To tastefully dress the walls of an osteopath's practice, beautiful anatomical charts, like those offered by En Chair et en Os, will prove to be more than relevant and educational 😉
