Don’T Keep Patients Waiting in the ER

Drastically improve wait time with Patient eConsent to Digitally Connect Staff to Patients in the Emergency Room

Your emergency room is the busiest area of your hospital, where up to two-thirds of patient intake occurs, and up to 3% of patients will not be seen due to an average wait time in the United States exceeding an hour and half – bringing unknown risk to your patient population and your hospitals reputation.

By introducing Access eSignature within your Emergency Room, patients complete forms electronically on any device you choose, INSIDE or OUTSIDE the hospital, freeing your staff to manage care and not paper.

Eliminate unpredictable patient barriers in the emergency room

Removing ER’s Problematic Patient Flow with eConsent Automation

Crowded waiting rooms, unresponsive patients, unpredictable levels of patient flow, staff shortages, language barriers, missing and incorrect demographic information are just a few of the barriers hospitals face when relying on a paper-based emergency department intake process.

With Access eSignature solution for your Emergency Department, forms never get lost, and 100% complete patient eConsents are indexed into the charts in real-time, so they can be accessed at anytime, and optionally routed for additional eSignature capture with physicians. Additionally, patient demographic information is automatically populated, eliminating frustration with redundant form fields.

CONTACTLESS CHECK-IN

Extending eSignature to Patients anywhere + Any Device

As a result of the pandemic, patients expect electronic eConsent & eSignature options for form completion – not traditional paper processes which are no longer feasible or effective.

Access eSignature solutions allow your staff the option to extend forms to patients outside of your hospital, affording a contactless preregistration process that minimizes waiting time.

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"
