Even though many healthcare providers and organizations have made the switch to electronic forms to streamline patient registration, there are often still one or two forms that a patient must fill out when they arrive. Many providers use paper forms or hand held tablets to collect additional information when patients arrive. But in a pandemic world, providers are looking for new, touchless ways to collect this information.
As a part of our partner certification program, Gus Melendez of Relay has devised this workflow that allows providers to generate QR codes for prefilled forms from Salesforce. This allows patients to fill out forms on their own mobile device rather than using a shared tablet or clipboard.
Here’s how this workflow will operate once you’ve set it up:
- There is an in-office or curbside patient check-in where a unique, patient-specific QR-code is generated.
- The patient uses their mobile device to scan the QR code, which brings them to a secure form prefilled with their information.
- When the patient submits their form, they are automatically directed to securely eSign and date the final document.
For many healthcare organizations, patient empowerment is a top priority. This workflow allows healthcare organizations to put patients at ease by ensuring their experience is as safe and contact-free as possible.
