Introduction
Treatment plans and treatments are essential concepts in Digitail, providing a structured and flexible way to manage services and billing for patients. This article explains the difference between treatment plans and treatments and outlines how to create a treatment plan in Digitail without requiring a prior patient check-in.
What is the Difference Between Treatment Plans and Treatments?
Treatment plans and treatments (or services) are related but distinct features in Digitail:
Treatment Plans: These are collections of products and services bundled together for a specific purpose, such as a yearly vaccination package. When a treatment plan is applied to a patient’s record (SOAP), all the included services and products are automatically synced into the Plan and Billing sections. On the invoice, each item is listed individually, ensuring clarity and accuracy in billing. Treatment plans are ideal for organizing and combining multiple services for easier management.
Treatments (Services): These refer to individual products or services, such as a single vaccine or lab test. Treatments can either be added separately to a patient’s record or bundled within a treatment plan. They are the individual components that make up a treatment plan and can also be used on their own.
In summary, treatment plans help organize multiple treatments/services, whereas treatments/services are the individual items that can be managed separately or as part of a larger plan.
Creating a Treatment Plan Without Checking in a Patient
Digitail offers flexibility in managing treatment plans. You can create a treatment plan even if the patient hasn't been checked in. This can be done directly through the patient's Health Card in the system, making it a seamless process.
Conclusion
Understanding the distinction between treatment plans and treatments, as well as leveraging features like creating treatment plans without requiring a patient check-in, can enhance your use of the Digitail platform. This streamlines service and billing processes for both individual treatments and comprehensive plans, ensuring efficiency and clarity in patient management.
