Print Forms on Demand with Barcodes and Patient Demographics and Interface Directly into EHRs
Managing pre-printed forms eats into your employees’ time, your budget and your floor space, while delaying patient care and service. Whether at the front desk or on clinical floors, clerks and nurses leave their patients to retrieve forms and again to copy and file them, increasing patient anxiety. Patients also get frustrated by filling in redundant information on each page. Once forms are completed, HIM staff waste time manually indexing them with patient records. Errors can lead to forms being linked to the wrong record, which jeopardizes patient safety.
Hundreds of hospitals are using Access Intelligent Forms Suite, or IFS – part of Access Enterprise Forms Management – to overcome these challenges. This complete forms automation solution enables your facility to manage e-forms in a central repository and print them on demand, with barcodes and patient demographics applied. You can simultaneously print barcoded wristbands that enhance patient safety.
Upon scanning, completed forms are interfaced into EHRs via native integration with your enterprise content/document management (ECM/EDM) system. Alternatively, patients can apply e-signatures to electronic forms, which are again ported directly into the ECM/EDM system paperlessly. During HIS downtime or upgrades, Access IFS enables you to register patients and retrieve clinical forms, ensuring continual care delivery.
Benefits of Access IFS include:
- Improve patient safety and care
- Eliminate the financial, environmental and productivity costs of pre-printed forms
- Bridge the gaps between your clinical, health information and ECM/EDM systems
- Enhance information availability, mobility, accuracy and security
- Advance your EHR, disaster planning and green initiatives
- Create a standardized forms creation process & eliminate version control issues
