Improved Productivity and Patient Care
Elk Regional Health System (ERHS) a not-for-profit provider in Northwestern Pennsylvania, uses Access PFS to cost-effectively manage patient admissions forms in a secure electronic environment. Based on registration information entered into the HIS, PFS automatically selects the appropriate forms for the registration packet, populates those forms with patient data and prints them. Initial patient care documents can also be routed to the patient’s destination, giving the location advance notice of the patient’s arrival and eliminating phone calls and the timely process of assembling initial charting documents.
The Access forms automation solution also enables ERHS to access patient information during HIS downtime and barcoding (as part of a Bedside Medication Verification - or BMV - initiative) has increased patient safety through positive patient identification when scanning and administering medications.
