Blog Summary
Mobile charge capture allows physicians to document and submit charges in real time — at the bedside, between patients, or while rounding — rather than spending hours on data entry at the end of the day. Research from the National Library of Medicine confirms that mobile capture improves documentation completeness, accuracy, patient safety, and reduces diagnostic coding errors. Medaptus Charge Pro’s award-winning mobile app (KLAAS award winner) was relaunched with features including a copy-previous-charge function, a 5-day charge grid, a frequently used codes list, and a quick-charge photo feature — all available on iPhone, Android, and tablets.
Medaptus’ award-winning solution, Charge Pro, has undergone a makeover with its mobile charge capture feature. The mobile solution has been a favorite among physicians and clinical staff. For years, our charge capture solution has received the KLAAS award for mobile charge capture. Our new app has undergone a transformation that will help customers to enjoy a more modern, easier way of capturing and reporting charges.
What Is Mobile Charge Capture and Why Should Physicians Use It?
How Does Mobile Charge Capture Work and What Problem Does It Solve?
Mobile charge capture allows providers to simply enter charges on a mobile device while they are currently seeing patients or right after seeing a patient, versus having to spend hours documenting encounters at the end of the day. This makes it much easier for physicians who want to document everything on the go and submit their charges immediately after seeing a patient, while the details are fresh in their mind.
A major pain point that mobile charge capture solves is that not long ago, physicians were relying on manually inputting encounter codes from paper. In addition to illegible and lost charges, this can also cause major revenue loss. With a mobile option, charges will be easier to input all the detailed info relevant for a charge that will help you maximize your charges.
What Does Research Say About Mobile Charge Capture?
The National Library of Medicine conducted a study that reflects positive results utilizing Mobile devices. Usage has been found to improve completeness and accuracy documentation when it comes to patients, and the easiness of using a mobile solution. Patient safety also achieved a positive spike, with less errors in diagnostic coding, more frequent documentation of side effects, and increased medication safety. In conclusion, documentation prepared with a mobile capture solution was of higher quality than using paper records.
New Features of Mobile Charge Capture
Our new app was relaunched in August to give providers a better and faster user experience. Here are a few of the features that can help you document charges quickly and accurately on the go:
- A new copy feature allows you to copy the entire charge from a previous day instead of manually having to enter in the same charge.
. - The charge grid feature allows you to see the last 5 days of a physician’s patient list to see what charges are missing.
The frequently used list feature shows you your most used codes for easy access.
Phone or tablet – Mobile charge capture is available on iPhone, Androids, and tablets.- The quick charge feature gives you the ability to take a picture of a face sheet and add in charges for each patient.
How Has the medaptus Mobile App Been Redesigned for Better Performance?
Notable reasons why Medaptus updated mobile capture are performance and user experience. When one logs into the platform, this person will automatically be connected to the charge system versus manually having to sync different information. The application has been redesigned to get the information needed faster with fewer clicks. Just like multiple Netflix screens in one home, everything is seamlessly integrated into one place.
The KLAAS award, received for multiple years by medaptus Charge Pro’s mobile solution, reflects ongoing recognition of its usability and value among physicians and clinical staff. The new version builds on this foundation with a fully modernized interface.
Conclusion
Mobile charge capture transforms how physicians document and submit charges — making it faster, more accurate, and more convenient than paper-based or end-of-day entry workflows. With the relaunched medaptus Charge Pro mobile app, providers can capture charges in real time at the bedside, see missing charges across the last five days at a glance, and copy recurring charges with a single tap. The result: fewer missing charges, better documentation quality, and improved revenue for your organization.
