Day 10 of ModMed: Optimizing Podiatry Workflows
from Don Pelto, DPM - Podiatry Practice Mastery · host Don Pelto, DPM
In this episode of Podiatry Practice Mastery, I share insights from day 10 of our ModMed EMR transition and how we’re streamlining workflows while handling a packed clinic schedule. From managing real patient cases like chronic plantar fasciitis, fractures, and nail fungus to optimizing shockwave therapy protocols and improving patient documentation, I walk you through the behind-the-scenes challenges and progress. I also discuss integrating Clara for automated reviews, better communication, and future plans to enhance patient education, all while working toward building a more efficient, scalable practice.What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeHow we’re navigating the ModMed EMR transition and improving workflowsWhy I’ve shifted to six-session shockwave protocols for better outcomesUsing Clara to simplify online reviews and patient communicationInsights from real patient cases involving plantar fasciitis, fractures, and fungusBalancing complex wound care decisions with efficient referralsWhy You Should ListenIf you’re growing your podiatry practice or switching to a new EMR, this episode offers practical, real-world insights on streamlining workflows, enhancing patient experiences, and leveraging technology to improve care and profitability.Key Topics Covered[0:00] Day 10 of ModMed transition and early lessons learned[0:38] Optimizing documentation and patient tracking workflows[1:22] Managing Swift wart treatments for pediatric patients[1:58] Bilateral plantar fasciitis care and ultrasound evaluations[3:06] Why I prefer six-session shockwave protocols[4:30] Handling complex distal phalanx fractures in diabetic patients[5:14] Nail fungus treatment workflows and medication management[6:03] Leveraging trainers and adapting to EMR billing changes[7:16] Simplifying notes and capturing key clinical findings[8:42] How EMR challenges affect productivity and patient care[9:26] Considering scope of practice for less common conditions[10:02] Managing referrals and complex wound care decisions👉 Tune in to discover how I’m optimizing workflows, leveraging technology, and improving patient outcomes while building a more efficient, profitable podiatry practice.
