Get Forms and Clinical Data into Electronic Health Records Quickly and Securely
Whether your hospital has several large health information systems or many smaller applications, you likely struggle with managing patient data in varying formats coming from disparate sources. Data is also trapped on pre-printed paper forms until your team manually indexes these forms with the appropriate record in your document imaging or enterprise content/document management (ECM/EDM) system. This and other tasks like forms labeling waste time and are error-prone, not to mention the financial costs of paper forms.
Access Enterprise Forms Management (EFM) can help you overcome these challenges.
With Access EFM, e-forms can be signed electronically and interfaced paperlessly into electronic health records (EHRs) via native integration with the ECM/EDM system. Alternatively, forms can be printed on demand with patient demographics and barcodes applied. Upon scanning, the imaging or ECM/EDM system uses the barcodes to associate the forms with the correct patient record.
To complement this solution, Access Universal Document Portal captures output from perinatal, health information and clinical systems and clinical monitoring devices (such as glucometers, EKG monitors and fetal monitors), presents it in a standardized format and interfaces it into patient records. There’s no human intervention needed.
With Access EFM, your HIM department can:
- Speed the availability of secure patient information to clinical departments
- Bridge the gaps between clinical, health information and ECM/EDM systems
- Enhance patient safety by ensuring data and forms are associated with the correct records
- Eliminate the financial, productivity and environmental cost of pre-printed forms
- Advance your EHR initiative
“With the Access solution, clinicians on the floor and staff in the billing office and HIM can retrieve the patient information they need, rather than waiting for folders to be passed around. Data is available in real time and that has a positive impact patient care.”
