Electronic Patient Forms
There are many advantages that electronic Patient forms have over paper forms. Most significantly, electronic forms have the capability to be “smart forms,” where input fields can be validated to make sure the users enter the correct type of information. With these forms you can also control input by utilizing drop-down menus so users must select from predetermined answers. Specific sections of the form can expand and contract or become visible or hidden, based on user input. And with electronic forms, all user input is typed and easy to read.
By using Century's FormsFullCircle™ technology, Patient Information forms can be filled out by the patient at home. They would submit the encrypted form securely to the medical office's email, where the patient's insurance information can be verified days before the patient arrives for the appointment. Forms can be submitted directly to any email address(es) and/or document storage and retrieval repository. The form will automatically be indexed with data from the form allowing for instant retrieval in the future by entering specific search criteria, such as Patient Name, Date of Birth, Social Security Number, etc.
