It’s 5pm, do you know where your DME order signatures are? (We do.)
When it comes to DME orders, a lot of variables can impact wait times for providers and their patients. In particular, wait times for doctors’ signatures, the length of time it takes to submit orders for doctors to sign, and time to order acceptance on the supplier side can contribute to massive delays. The Parachute Platform combines the power of fast order submission, speedy eSigning, and quick, reliable order acceptance to achieve best-in-class ordering speeds and consistently clean, complete orders—with most orders on the path to fulfillment in a day or less.
DME orders are an essential part of healthcare delivery, but assembling the correct information and documentation so suppliers can quickly fill them is often confusing, time consuming, and rife with uncertainty, with potential for errors at every step.
Particularly in areas with complex prescribing and documentation requirements, orders can involve hours spent gathering the right paperwork, getting signatures, then redoing paperwork after hours of phone tag with suppliers. Despite providers’ best efforts, DME orders can be rejected several times before all the necessary components are in place.
Signature times on the Parachute Platform
Signature times in particular are an area where DME orders tend to stall. The Parachute Platform drives responsiveness by offering clinicians a range of options including on-screen/in-EHR, mobile/SMS, and email for fast, 1-click eSigning.
Our signature completion stats show what a big difference the right technology can make:
- 83% of signatures on Parachute Health are completed via SMS, email, or on-screen/in-EHR
- 71% of digital signatures are completed within 1 hour
- The average time to sign for digital signatures is 16 minutes
- Only 6% of signatures take more than 24 hours
A foundation of fast, easy order assembly
Prior to the signature stage, tools that facilitate clean order completion ensure orders get to signing clinicians fast. The Parachute Platform’s guided ordering documentation workflows are easy to follow, making ordering quick and intuitive, even for beginners.
Our order submission workflow data shows a reliable pattern of fast onboarding for new users and quick progress to being fully trained:
- Order completion times for new users drop by 25% between order 1 and order 10
- Once a user is fully trained, orders take less than 3 minutes to create on average
- Orders completed with EHR integration take 1 minute or less
The result: best-in-class acceptance rates
Once clean orders are completed and signed, the order acceptance rate is over 99 percent, meaning that fewer than one percent of orders are rejected by suppliers after they’re sent.
