Healthcare: Paperless Registration

One of the most common complaints from patients when they visit a healthcare office or hospital is regarding the complicated registration process.

Patients are often asked to complete a  multitude of paper forms upon arrival and, in many cases, this must be done for each and every appointment. Patients and caregivers alike recognize the problem and inefficiency; so how can it be fixed? Paperless registration can eliminate manual forms and streamline your check-in process.

Respecting Client’s Time and Privacy

When a patient enters a healthcare facility, they want to feel like their time is being effectively used. They may be ill or in pain and looking for a resolution. Filling out a paper registration form is a barricade that prevents them from accessing the care they want in a quick and timely manner.

By implementing paperless registration, intuitive forms can be created to make the registration process faster and more patient-friendly.

On future visits, patient data can be pre-populated with patients only being required to make necessary changes. This reduces wait times and improves patient satisfaction immensely.

Cutting Down on Waste and Inefficiency

What happens to paper forms once they have been completed? In some offices, these forms are filed in a paper file. Other offices may scan the form and save it digitally. In both cases, printed forms must be presented, and staff time must be allocated to filing. This is both inefficient and wasteful.

Some healthcare providers that have implemented paperless registration have reduced paper use by hundreds of pages per day, which can add up to substantial savings over an entire fiscal year.

In addition, once a patient registration is complete, the file can be automatically uploaded to a patient folder for storage. There is no need to take away staff from your staff’s more important duties – connecting with patients and providing exceptional care and service.

Customized Solutions for Every Need
