QuadraMed and FormFast Partner to
Optimize Hospital Electronic Document Management
RESTON, VA – (October 4, 2006) – QuadraMed® Corporation (Amex: QD) today announced
an agreement has been reached with FormFast®, Inc., St. Louis, Missouri, that will help
QuadraMed’s Health Information Management (HIM) clients optimize their use of the
QuadraMed EDM (Electronic Document Management) solution. Under terms of the contract,
effective immediately, QuadraMed has made FormFast its recommended provider of forms
automation software.
QuadraMed EDM is a web-native information portal designed as a single solution for proactively
managing, processing and securely storing patient medical records in a central repository. The
software provides a secure view of a patient’s record, including images and documents, which
can be accessed in real time by encounter or across all encounters, while eliminating costs
associated with the production and storage of paper records. EDM is an essential component of
the paperless e-HIM® department and the Electronic Health Record (EHR).
To speed full EDM implementation and optimize its use, FormFast can provide QuadraMed
clients with an automated solution that enables them to cost-effectively migrate from existing
paper-based forms to an electronic format. The software interfaces with QuadraMed EDM, and
provides the ability for clients to scan their existing paper forms into an electronic format, import
existing electronic forms, modify forms, and print them with bar codes. This significantly
improves the organization’s ability to manage information and eliminates preprinted forms.
In addition, FormFast can provide consulting services to assist in creating an electronic document
inventory and the transition of existing documents. Creating such an inventory for patient
medical records is a required component of the EHR.
