Boosting Patient Care & Service, Cutting Costs and Improving Information Sharing Hospital-Wide
To deliver the care patients needs and the service they expect, hospitals need information to flow smoothly throughout the facility. Those facilities relying on paper forms face delays that prevent them from meeting patients’ expectations, and error-prone manual tasks such as data entry and labeling, can jeopardize patient safety. Processing paper forms also incurs high financial, productivity and environmental costs.
Hundreds of hospitals are turning to Access Enterprise Forms Management (Access EFM), the leading choice for the healthcare industry, to overcome these challenges. From patient admissions to clinical floors to the emergency room and beyond, Access EFM enables facilities to retrieve forms on demand and then upon completion, distribute them across the facility via the electronic medical record (EMR), e-mail, electronic workflow or fax.
With Access’s healthcare-specific forms and workflow automation solutions, your facility can:
- Speed clinical and administrative processes across the facility
- Support your electronic health record (EHR) initiative by interfacing forms, COLD feeds and clinical device output directly into patient records via the ECM/EDM system
- Increase patient safety with barcoded wristbands that reconciled with barcoded medication labels to ensure correct medication dispensing
- Eliminate the financial, productivity and environmental costs of processing paper forms
- Ensure that accurate and complete information needed for care delivery, billing and other key processes is captured on current versions of all forms and immediately available hospital-wide
- Enhance downtime registration, disaster planning and green initiatives with seamless, paperless processes
“The industry knowledge of the Access team is a big factor in the success of our electronic forms project. They know the business and create product features that address the real problems faced by hospitals like ours."
