| Hospital
Pre-Admission Registration
The
Situation:
When patients arrive at most
hospitals for a scheduled
procedure, they have to stop
and fill out reams of forms
before they are admitted.
Methodist Healthcare in San
Antonio, wanting to alleviate
this pressure for both their
patients and admitting staff,
requested an on-line pre-admission
registration system for their
facilities.
The
Solution:
With their new pre-admission
system, the hospitals' staff
now have a better way to plan
ahead for incoming patients
and patients can take their
time filling out the forms
in the comfort of their home.
When they arrive, the hospital
staff already has all the
information needed and only
has to verify insurance coverage.
Admission time has been significantly
reduced saving the hospitals
time and money and saving
patients and their families
an unwelcome delay when they
arrive.
A second implementation of
the system will include the
capability for registering
patients to save their applications
and information on all members
of their family for future
use. This will be expanded
to provide families a convenient
way to save a history of their
hospital visits and communicate
securely with their doctors
and the hospitals' staff. |
