Hi Trista,
Our practice has a template that we use to "guesstimate" the number of pages.
Visits: ______ x 2 ________ pgs
Labs: ______ x 2 ________ pgs
Imports: _____ x 2 ________ pgs
Billing: _______ x2 _________ pgs
Immunizations: _____ 1 page
We count all of the encounters, imports and labs and then multiply them by 2, because usually they are 2 pages long, and then come up with a total that way. I know its not an exact science, but it does beat printing everything and counting it manually.
Hope this helps!
Heather
