Access Intelligent Forms Suite - Speeding Patient Scheduling and Registration
In the patient access department, the main aims are to schedule and admit patients as efficiently as possible so they can get the care they need, and to provide exemplary service. Unfortunately, processing paper forms often gets in the way.
Misplaced or incomplete forms can delay scheduling and admission. Even if forms are where they are supposed to be, manual tasks such as retrieval from a storage area, photocopying, filing and manual indexing divert staff away from meeting patients’ needs. Personnel in other departments wait for documents to arrive, and maintaining hard copies increases overhead.
Access Intelligent Forms Suite (IFS) is helping hundreds of hospitals overcome these challenges. By replacing paper-based scheduling and admissions processes with Access solutions, your patient access department can:
- Create a paperless scheduling and admissions process that ensures patients get the treatment they need faster than ever before
- Print barcoded forms that enable auto-indexing in the document management system
- Eliminate the financial, environmental and productivity costs of processing paperwork
- Output barcoded wristbands that facilitate positive patient ID throughout the visit and support BMV
- Interface forms directly into electronic medical records via the document management system
- Eliminate document loss and improve sharing of current and accurate information with HIM, patient finance and clinical floors
“Access IFS has made our registration process simple. Patients don’t want to wait around while staff search for forms and photocopy them, and with IFS they don’t have to.”
