| Forms Control, Conversion, and Standardization Are We There Yet? |
|||
| Does this scenario sound familiar? You’d like to convert your current forms to electronic versions for greater use and management, but your forms are a hodgepodge: You have forms on multiple servers, using spreadsheets to manage them, and they come in a variety of document types and various vendors.

But it requires that you think globally…and that you ask some very pointed questions of prospective software vendors. |

It seems that the paperwork and processes required of admissions staff gotten out of hand in the last few years. The latest additions to this line-up include the Patient Rights Form, Patient Privacy Notice and the ABN (Advance Beneficiary Notice). Few HIS companies, however, seem to recognize this as an issue in their ADT systems: the ADT system prints a Face sheet and (maybe) an embossed card. To produce and fill out the remaining forms, you’re apparently on your own. |
