How are you guys tracking patients? How do assure every patient has been informed at the age of 50 that they should get their colonoscopy, etc.

For me, I have started a bariatric surgical program and am trying to figure out how to integrate AC into the process. Many insurances require 500 different things prior to sending off the patient for pre-approval. Is there a good way to track where patients are in the process with AC?

There are bariatric specific EMRs that will do this I'm told but I also do a large amount of general surgery and use AC for those.

Tracking patients is a mystery. We're using paper for it right now and I can see patients getting lost. Obviously, we make the patients responsible for their own health but reminders would be nice as well as knowing where a patient is in the process.
