"We’ve got the second busiest ER in Hawaii, and so stopping patients at the desk to fill out and sign paper forms was a real issue"

"With Access e-signatures, shortstay patients can sign electronically right at the bedside, meaning they get the care they need without being slowed down by paperwork."

"The Access system also saves time for the HIM team as the consent goes right into the MEDITECH EHR."

"With the Access system, we know we’re collecting all the patient signatures on consents that are required for billing... This is helpful from a revenue cycle perspective and also helps with auditing."

"As patients are electronically signing the 44,000 consents we generate each year with Access’s system instead of authorizing hard copies, we’re saving around $200,000 a year just for one form"

"Our consent form accounts for about 80 percent of the paper that’s left in the hospital... Managing this document in Access’s e-forms system will not only deliver cost savings, but will also advance our green initiative."

"With the Access system, we’re no longer having to print that off and scan it every time, so we’re eliminating ream after ream of paper in the ICU alone. We average 48,000 visits in our ED every year, so there’s a big paper savings there, too."

"Data is available in real time and that has a positive impact patient
care... 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"
