Before implementing PFS, Laughlin Memorial’s admissions process was time-consuming for patients and staff members. When a patient came to the registration desk, a clerk manually retrieved forms based on the type of admission.
Now, after registering a patient in the HIS, the clerk selects the registration type in the Access PFS system and prints a customized forms packet with a single click.
When Laughlin Memorial’s HIS is down for scheduled maintenance, Access’s e-Forms Repository (EFR) enables clerks to register patients electronically, instead of handwriting patient information on forms.
On clinical floors, nurses print forms from Access’s e-Forms Repository (EFR) with barcodes and demographics already on them, helping speed clinical processes and reduce delays associated with paper forms processing.
- Existing forms automation system is not well supported and does not have staff buy in
- Patient registration process is time-consuming and forms can be overlooked
- Physical limitations of forms delays information sharing
- Nurses waste time printing forms one by one and affixing labels, and patient forms can be labeled incorrectly
- Access’s proven project methodology ensures nurses and registration clerks are up and running quickly with e-forms management
- Ability to print forms packets on demand ensures fast, error-free registration
- Patient information can be accessed instantly from anywhere in the hospital
- Forms printed with one click with demographics and barcodes on them, eliminating manual tasks and enhancing patient safety
