What is orthopedic EHR software?

Orthopedic EHR software helps clinics manage musculoskeletal care workflows, surgical documentation, patient records, and billing efficiently.

How does OmniMD support orthopedic clinics?

OmniMD supports orthopedic clinics with imaging integration, workflow automation, and surgical documentation tools.

How does the OmniMD orthopedic EHR facilitate surgical scheduling and coordination?

OmniMD EHR offers dedicated surgical scheduling modules that allows streamlined booking of procedures, including pre-operative assessments, consent forms, and post-operative instructions.

Can the OmniMD EHR help with billing and revenue cycle management?

Yes, OmniMD orthopedic EHR system integrate with revenue cycle management tools, streamlining billing processes, improving accuracy, and ensuring timely claims for orthopedic procedures.

How does OmniMD handle staged fracture care billing and the 90-day global period?

OmniMD tracks each patient's active global surgery periods at the encounter level. When a new procedure is scheduled for a patient within a 90-day global period, OmniMD alerts the billing team and prompts for modifier 58 (staged procedure) or modifier 79 (unrelated procedure). Post-op visits within the global period are flagged as bundled; visits for unrelated conditions receive modifier 24 automatically when the diagnosis is anatomically distinct from the surgical procedure.

Does OmniMD track surgical implants and FDA recall notifications?

Yes. OmniMD captures UDI, lot number, serial number, manufacturer, and expiration date for every implant at the case level. The system cross-references implant records against the FDA MAUDE database for active recall notifications and identifies all patients who received a recalled device lot automatically, reducing a weeks-long manual chart review to an automated query.

Which outcome measures does OmniMD include for orthopedic patients?

OmniMD includes KOOS (knee conditions, TKA), HOOS (hip conditions, THA), ASES (rotator cuff, shoulder arthroplasty), QuickDASH (upper extremity, distal radius fractures), ODI (lumbar spine surgery), and VAS Pain Scale (all conditions). All instruments are auto-scored inside the visit note and stored longitudinally. OmniMD generates AJRR-formatted KOOS and HOOS data exports for joint replacement registry submissions.

Does OmniMD integrate with Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC)?

Yes. OmniMD integrates with ASC scheduling via HL7 and FHIR, synchronizing case bookings, implant preference cards, pre-operative completion status, and consent form documentation. OmniMD tracks H&P, lab, EKG, imaging, consent, and prior authorization completion and alerts the surgeon's office when any required item is outstanding within 48 hours of the scheduled case.

Can OmniMD handle worker's compensation billing for orthopedic practices?

Yes. OmniMD handles worker's comp as a separate payer category with state-specific fee schedules, injury documentation fields, return-to-work status tracking, and state-specific progress report generation. For practices performing IMEs, OmniMD includes an IME template that generates structured causation, apportionment, MMI, and permanent and stationary status reports from structured EHR data fields.

Orthopedic EHR Workflows for Surgery, Fracture Care, and Joint Replacement

Every orthopedic case is a race against bone loss, implant fit, and recovery time. Our platform auto-maps MRI and CT images into templated workflows for spine fusions, joint replacements, and fracture fixations, cutting prep time from hours to minutes. Implant trays, screws, plates, and prosthetics are tracked live, so a missing component never delays a surgery. Complex coding like staged fracture care, bilateral joint procedures, or bundled trauma repairs is built in, protecting reimbursements unique to orthopedics.

Operating rooms( OR) dashboards surface implant cost variance, revision frequency, and surgical throughput, giving chairs and administrators precision data to steer programs. Post-op rehab is automated around gait analysis, weight-bearing milestones, and range-of-motion scores, flagging slow recoveries before they compromise outcomes.

Trauma protocols auto-link ER fracture stabilization with OR scheduling and follow-up clinic visits, keeping continuity unbroken. From high-volume hip and knee centers to spine institutes and trauma units, every workflow is engineered to move patients from injury to mobility with zero friction.

Staged fracture care occurs when the initial treatment (such as external fixation or closed reduction) is followed by a second, more definitive procedure (such as open reduction with internal fixation) within the global period of the first procedure. Medicare and most commercial payers bundle all related care within the 90-day global surgery period into the first procedure’s payment, which means the second procedure cannot be billed as a standalone unless the correct modifier is applied.
OmniMD tracks each patient’s active global surgery periods at the encounter level. When a new procedure is scheduled for a patient who is within a 90-day global period from a prior surgery, OmniMD alerts the billing team and prompts for modifier 58 (staged procedure planned at the time of original surgery) or modifier 79 (unrelated procedure). Modifier 58 allows the second procedure to be billed at 100% of its fee; without the modifier, the claim is denied as bundled into the global period payment of the first procedure.
The global period also governs post-operative office visits. During the 90-day global period, routine follow-up visits related to the procedure are included in the surgical payment and cannot be billed separately. OmniMD flags each post-op visit as falling within an active global period so the billing team does not submit a charge that will be denied or create a compliance exposure. Visits for unrelated conditions during the global period are billable with modifier 24, which OmniMD applies automatically when the visit diagnosis is anatomically distinct from the surgical procedure diagnosis.

Yes. OmniMD captures the UDI (Unique Device Identifier), lot number, serial number, manufacturer, model, and expiration date for every implant at the case level. This data is recorded in the operative note automatically from the UDI scan or manual entry, creating a complete implant record without requiring a separate implant sticker log or handwritten tracking sheet. For total knee and hip replacements, each component (femoral, tibial, patellar, acetabular cup, femoral stem) is tracked independently with its own UDI record.
OmniMD cross-references implant records against the FDA MAUDE (Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience) database for active recall notifications. When the FDA issues a Class I, II, or III recall for a device in OmniMD’s implant database, the system identifies all patients who received that specific lot number and generates a notification task list. This reduces a manual chart review that typically takes weeks to complete into an automated query that completes in minutes.
Practices using OmniMD’s implant tracking module also benefit from preference card management: each surgeon’s standard implant selections are stored by procedure type, and the surgical coordinator can generate the implant request list directly from the scheduled case without re-entering the surgeon’s preferences for each case. When a preferred implant is out of stock or substituted, OmniMD documents the substitution in the case record and flags the surgeon for confirmation before the case proceeds.

For joint replacement billing, the core procedure codes are 27447 (total knee arthroplasty), 27130 (total hip arthroplasty), and 23472 (total shoulder arthroplasty). Each carries a 90-day global surgery period. The EHR must support the full modifier set for these codes: modifier 57 for the pre-operative decision visit, modifier 54 when the operating surgeon transfers post-op care, modifier 55 when the receiving surgeon is only providing post-operative management, and modifier 79 for unrelated procedures during the global period.
Joint replacement billing also requires supporting add-on codes and related procedures: 27438 (patella resurfacing, add-on to TKA when performed), 27703 (revision TKA), 27134 (revision THA), and the full series of fracture care codes when a peri-prosthetic fracture occurs around an existing joint replacement. Peri-prosthetic fracture coding is one of the most complex scenarios in orthopedic billing because the diagnosis codes (M97.01x for peri-prosthetic fracture at THA, M97.11x for TKA) must match the implant status codes (Z96.64x for knee prosthesis, Z96.65x for hip prosthesis) in the claim.
Beyond the procedure codes, the orthopedic EHR must support the pre-authorization documentation requirements for joint replacement: standing radiographs, BMI documentation, conservative treatment failure documentation (physical therapy, injections, NSAIDs), and functional limitation scoring (KOOS or HOOS). OmniMD generates a pre-authorization summary that pulls the relevant documentation from the patient record into a structured format matched to the payer’s prior authorization form fields, reducing the administrative time per authorization request.

OmniMD includes the KOOS (Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) for knee conditions including meniscus repair and total knee replacement; HOOS (Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) for hip conditions and total hip replacement; ASES (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Score) for rotator cuff repair and shoulder arthroplasty; QuickDASH for upper extremity conditions including distal radius fractures; ODI (Oswestry Disability Index) for lumbar spine surgery; and VAS Pain Scale for all orthopedic conditions. All instruments are auto-scored inside the visit note.
Outcome scores are stored longitudinally and displayed as an episode-of-care trend graph at the top of each patient’s orthopedic record. OmniMD prompts for outcome measure collection at scheduled time points: pre-operative, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year post-surgery. When a patient’s score at 3 months has not reached the expected recovery trajectory, OmniMD flags the case for clinical review before the next visit rather than surfacing the concern only at the visit itself.
For practices submitting data to the American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR), OmniMD generates the required KOOS and HOOS data export in the registry-formatted file, reducing the manual data extraction that practices currently perform by pulling scores from paper forms or separate survey platforms. Consistent outcome measure collection inside the EHR also supports MIPS quality reporting for orthopedic practices, as functional outcome measure collection is a recognized quality measure for joint replacement procedures.

Yes. OmniMD integrates with Ambulatory Surgery Center scheduling systems via HL7 and FHIR interfaces, synchronizing case bookings, block time allocation, pre-operative assessment status, and consent form completion between the clinic EHR and the ASC system. When a surgeon schedules a case from the clinic, the ASC receives the booking with the patient demographic data, diagnosis, procedure, and implant preference card attached, without requiring the ASC coordinator to re-enter the information from a faxed case booking form.
Pre-operative workflow integration is where the clinic-to-ASC handoff most commonly breaks down in practices using separate systems. OmniMD tracks the completion status of each pre-operative requirement: history and physical (H&P), anesthesia pre-assessment, lab results, EKG, imaging, consent forms, and prior authorization confirmation. The ASC coordinator can see the completion status of each requirement before the case date from within the scheduling system, and OmniMD alerts the surgeon’s office when a required item is still outstanding inside 48 hours of the scheduled case.
Post-operative documentation flows from the ASC back into the OmniMD patient record, including the anesthesia record, operative note, and recovery room notes. The surgeon’s post-operative dictation in OmniMD becomes part of the same encounter record as the ASC documentation, creating a single source of truth for the episode of care across both settings. This matters for billing because a joint replacement episode may generate claims from both the surgeon (professional fee) and the ASC (facility fee), and both claim submissions need to reference the same operative data.

Yes. OmniMD handles worker’s compensation billing as a separate payer category with its own fee schedule, documentation requirements, and claim submission rules. Worker’s comp cases are flagged at patient intake with the employer name, date of injury, adjuster contact, claim number, and applicable state fee schedule. Claims for worker’s comp patients are routed through the state-specific fee schedule rather than Medicare or commercial payer rates, with the correct CMS-1500 form fields populated for worker’s comp submissions.
Orthopedic worker’s compensation documentation requirements go beyond standard clinical documentation. OmniMD’s worker’s comp workflow includes fields for: mechanism of injury, work-relatedness determination, functional capacity assessment, return-to-work status (full duty, modified duty, or off work), restrictions, and estimated return-to-work date. These fields populate the state-specific progress report forms that adjusters require at each visit, reducing the time spent on worker’s comp administrative paperwork per case.
Independent Medical Examinations (IME) and medical-legal documentation are common in high-volume worker’s comp orthopedic practices. OmniMD’s IME template generates a structured report that addresses the standard medicolegal questions: causation, apportionment, maximum medical improvement (MMI), permanent and stationary status, and future medical care recommendations. The IME report is generated from structured data fields in the EHR rather than dictated from scratch, reducing the time per report while meeting the documentation standards required for court and deposition use.
