Integrated Electronic Forms Solutions for Health Information Systems
Eliminate paper forms inefficiency with barcoded e-forms on demand
Many electronic forms (e-forms) management products fall into the stand-alone category, which means that they are isolated from other systems. So they either require expensive customized interfaces to work with health information systems (HIS) or they don’t integrate at all. You can imagine how this increases cost of ownership and creates more effort for users and IT staff.
Eliminating Costs, Manual Tasks and Paper from Forms Processing
In contrast, Access’s industry-leading electronic forms on demand solution natively integrates with any HIS in three different ways:
- HIS data is added intelligently to e-forms as they’re being printed on demand
- Patient data is used to create dynamic barcodes on each form for tracking, indexing
- Completed forms are added to a patient’s EMR/EHR via the enterprise content/document management (ECM/EDM) system
Speeding Patient Registration
When patients arrive at the hospital, they want to get treated as soon as possible — without wasting time filling in redundant forms information. Our proven and tested HIS integration improves the patient experience by:
- Pulling data from the HIS and intelligently mapping it onto e-forms
- Mapping barcode information onto forms, eliminating manual labeling scanning errors of incorrect labeling
- Enabling staff to focus on patients instead of forms processing
Transforming Clinical Forms Processing
On clinical floors, administrators can:
- Free up floor space by eliminating paper forms storage
- Eliminate version control issues by managing forms electronically
- Generate order sets, discharge summaries, progress reports and other e-forms on demand with barcodes and patient demographics
- Retrieve clinical forms during HIS downtime
- Capture patient electronic signatures at registration or the bedside
- Send completed forms into the EHR via integration with the ECM/EDM system
Electronically Register Patients and Access Clinical Forms During HIS Downtime
Every HIS is down at some point — whether it’s for scheduled maintenance, an upgrade, or even in the aftermath of a natural disaster. Typically, registration clerks and nurses use paper forms to register new patients and complete clinical processes. These must then be manually indexed and scanned — taking even more time.
With Access’s downtime solution integrated with the HIS and ECM/EDM system, hospitals improve the patient experience and save time by:
- Registering patients and capture clinical information electronically with e-forms
- Authorizing e-forms with electronic patient signatures
- Scanning these forms into the ECM system for auto-indexing
- Or porting them without paper using Access’s electronic data bridge
