What is Spry and how does it help PTs operate more efficiently and reduce admin time?

According to WHO, around 1.71 billion individuals worldwide have musculoskeletal problems. Low back pain is the single most significant cause of disability in 160 countries, resulting in decreased mobility and agility, early retirement from employment, and diminished capacity to engage in society. Healthcare and information technology specialists agree that software will play an essential role in treating patients with musculoskeletal difficulties, making patient treatment more accessible and easier to deliver and yielding better outcomes.

At the start of many technical advances, there are always obstacles that make the process even more challenging to comprehend. The following issues arose in the digital healthcare system during its transformation period:

Patient management system flaws,

• User interface and experience are archaic,
• Lack of customization,
• Complex processes and a plethora of third-party tools,
• Increased reliance on manual procedures, resulting in staff burnout,
• Unsynchronized EMR and billing, 
• Ineffective marketing, and many others.

Many firms have evolved different methods and approaches to keep ahead of the curve on this route of innovations, problem-solving, and establishing superior systems and patient care. However, one company has jumped ahead of the pack and is building the framework for the future.

Let us introduce SPRY to you, ladies and gentlemen.

Who are we?

SPRY is a comprehensive and adaptable platform designed by and for physical therapists that enables seamless synchronization between their front office, treatment, finance, and business teams by providing tools for everything from patient acquisition to at-home exercises. The major aim is to help PTs serve their patients better, increase profits, reduce reimbursement delays, reduce employee fatigue, and propel the practice into the future while putting data security and quality at the centre of operations.

Sounds like a dream come true, but is it really a dream? Allow us to pinch you and inform you that it's true. The following query that pops into your head is, "How?" Let's go through the features SPRY offers and how it helps PTs, their clinics, and their patients in a quick overview.

• Patient Scheduling and Digital Intake
• Insurance Eligibility Check 
• Billing System

We could go on and on explaining how our features function and what type of procedure we've implemented, but how about we take you on an SPRY-tactic journey from the perspective of patients and physical therapists?

Let's begin shall we?

Patient Scheduling and Digital Intake

Consider a patient who arrives at the clinic with the necessary medical and insurance documentation. They notice a big line in front of them of others doing the same thing and waiting to schedule appointments with their physical therapists. What happens when the PTs are unavailable, or when the patient intake workflow takes too long? Now consider the situation from the perspective of the front office. The never-ending line of patients, a manual appointment system, an intake procedure that feels like a marathon race, and protracted phone calls to the clearing house. Consider how much front-end personnel must endure. Employee burnout must soar to new heights.

Let's have a look at how SPRY may alter the overall scenario.

Here is how we do it - 

• SPRY offers physical therapists a complete appointment scheduling system and automated reminders, allowing them to stay on top of all scheduled appointments while saving time on phone calls and email trails. 
• The scheduling solution decreases front-office strain and frees time for administrators and doctors by utilizing over 6000+ digital processes, drop-down standardized replies, and AI-based prompts. 
• Patients may now make appointments online, check follow-up schedules, fill out the information, upload medical history, and verify insurance eligibility from the comfort of their own homes. 
• Because the system is linked to a multi-insurance support system, patients do not need to provide their information constantly.
