Dermatology Surgical Workflow

Discover how Derm-Cloud, a Meaningful Use-certified EHR and practice management system, is built to support surgical dermatology practices with seamless workflow automation for Mohs surgery, excisions, laser procedures, and cosmetic surgeries.

Dermatology Surgery Workflow Queue Prompts and Documents

In a busy dermatology practice, the workflow associated with surgical and procedural treatments can become a significant administrative burden. The Dermatology Surgical Workflow Queue helps streamline the process from preoperative planning to postoperative follow-ups, ensuring that every step is efficiently documented and managed.

Preoperative

All critical steps prior to the procedure are handled seamlessly within the workflow, including:

  • Preauthorizations for insurance and payment estimates
  • Medical clearance for surgical patients
  • Surgical scheduling and coordination
  • Preoperative lab testing and risk assessments
  • Electronic consent forms for Mohs surgery, excisions, laser treatments, and cosmetic procedures
  • Automated communication with the operating suite or procedural room

Peri-operative

Covers the day of the procedure and the immediate postoperative period, ensuring:

  • Accurate documentation of surgical techniques and pathology orders
  • Automated claim generation linked to the procedure note
  • Integration with real-time billing, preventing delays in reimbursement

Postoperative

Comprehensive tracking and documentation ensure:

  • Follow-up visits and wound care appointments are properly recorded
  • Timely alerts for end-of-global periods to avoid missed billing opportunities
  • Seamless reconciliation of procedure outcomes with patient records

Completed

Care beyond the global surgical period is properly recorded and billed. The workflow queue is useful for:

  • Reviewing past surgical cases, including complications or re-excisions
  • Tracking canceled procedures and documenting reasons for cancellation
  • Auditing and analyzing surgical outcomes for continuous practice improvement

Informed Consent Documentation

The Dermatology Surgical Workflow Queue ensures that Informed Consent is fully documented before any surgical procedure is scheduled. Signed consent forms are stored directly in the EHR, and practices using digital consent forms can have patient signatures automatically uploaded, ensuring compliance and accessibility.

Fast Accurate Payment

Derm-Cloud automates the entire surgical billing process from scheduling to claim submission. The system suggests appropriate CPT modifiers to optimize reimbursement and prevents revenue loss by tracking global periods—ensuring that unrelated services during this timeframe are billed appropriately. Preauthorized CPT codes are automatically queued for claim submission, reducing manual billing efforts.
