Controller
Laser
Checks Made Easy
Many solutions for laser check processing are expensive,
complicated and cumbersome and do not provide a comfort
level with respect to security. You are required to buy
equipment, supplies and blank check stock at premium rates.
You are not in control. Thus many clients are still seeking
solutions. At FormFast, we keep it simple and secure.
Because we have done hundreds of conversions using our
own software, we have the experience to integrate this
application to your system without fanfare in a couple
of days. Expensive preprinted checks are replaced by generic
check stock with a security background. The FormFast program
allows reformatted data to be laser printed on blank check
stock, stuffed in an envelope or processed as one page
fold and seal self-mailer product
Benefits:
No inventory of negotiable checks
No check numbers to control
No retyping / voiding damaged or jammed checks
No secondary operation to sign
Laser printer inserts signature
No bursting or separating
Automation of folding / stuffing
Increased document security and control

Business Office
Using FormFast solutions, business office personnel can
reformat data and output for statements, invoices, UB92s,
HCFA1500s or any other documents to print on laser on
blank paper. You control font size, color, consolidation
of multipage documents, when and where you want to print.
Also using our access automation products, the business
office has access to view insurance cards, face sheets
and signed consent forms scanned or digitally collected
in registration. Preadmission data is automatically entered
to our database so that business office can review for
insurance verification.

Patient Identity System Applications / FastBand
A positive patient ID that supports multiple patient identity
systems with your choice of bar code symbology.
FormFast can generate a wristband and labels with bar
codes that print out automatically in admissions, along
with face sheets and other paperwork. If the wristband
needs replacement or updating on the nursing division,
FormFast offers an application program that looks at the
ADT database and displays patients. The floor nurse can
select the patient and item required —a wristband
for example— and the laser printer of choice. All
items will print on demand.
Barcoded
wristbands offer an enhanced level of patient identification,
security and safety because they:

PreRegistration
Eliminate Duplicate Key Entry
of PreAdmission Data
FormFast starts the process on our web based FormFastSite
where prospective patients or physician assistants can
fill out Preregistration forms on line on the web. Patient
goes to hospital website to Preregistration section and
fills out web based FormFill. Data is then automatically
entered to the hospital ADT system with prompts for Preadmission
personnel to verify and edit as necessary. Preregistration
is streamlined, time saved, errors reduced.

Registration
Automate the Printing of your
Documents for Patient Admission
In the typical system, admission forms are printed at
one site and distributed to many areas. FormFast eliminates
the preprinted forms and embossed cards, saving significant
dollars. Admission personnel enter patient information
same as currently and print using "print" prompt
same as currently. There will be no separate screens to
access. Admission packets with patient data are automatically
distributed to the admission laser printer, business office
laser printer, medical record or nursing station laser
printers at the same time. Admission personnel will not
need to tear down a form and distribute copies. Based
on patient type or financial class, software can also
be programmed to select and print Consent forms, ABNs,
Privacy forms, Medicare forms. Wrist bracelets and labels
can be laser generated from a dedicated bin on the laser
printer or a thermal printer with patient ID and bar codes.
Form and data can also be automatically faxed or e-mailed
to admitting physician. For Same Day Surgery, ER or Nursing
Floors, all clinical chart forms can be generated from
admissions. By eliminating the needs for embossers and
impact printers and by simplifying training, bedside registration
is enabled. The FormFast registration module is also a
platform for collecting patient signatures electronically
and for scanning insurance cards for central access.

Electronic Patient Signatures
Allow a patient to review consent and other signature-required
forms and sign all the documents at once, using a specially
designed pad. Patients can also review all signed documents
on screen and receive a hard copy. Store an optical image
of the consent forms with embedded signature in your facility’s
database. This information can be retrieved as needed
by other hospital departments, creating a totally paperless
transaction.

Scanning of Insurance Cards and IDs
FormFast has a scanning interface to allow registration
personnel to scan in cards or forms at point of admission.
These images can be accessed and viewed by business office
or registration personnel. It is very common to use the
FormFast front end to collect these images and deliver
them to your optical imaging EMR database.

Nursing/Clinical
Chart Forms on Demand Eliminate
Blue Cards
Your hospital's chart forms are digitized by FormFast
graphical design software either by your personnel or
by FormFast professional services and stored in a directory
on the host system. The FormImprint program is accessible
through any work station via web, Citrix or locally for
down time purposes. It provides a menu which allows the
nurse to select a user defined imprint and print it onto
blank paper stock. The nurse can merge imprints for any
patient or user-defined group of patients with any form
or user defined group of forms (packet). For example,
imprint data for a new patient could be merged with a
packet called StartChart to print a completely new patient
chart. Or, imprint data for all patients on the floor
could be merged with a packet of all Daily Sheets to refresh
documents at a shift change. Per the sample imprint on
this form, imprint data can include data not normally
shown, such as Height and Weight, and can be displayed
in barcode representation if desired. There is a free
text capability, which allows nursing to create templates
for standing orders, teaching forms or any other purpose.
FormImprint will also print wristbands or sheets of imprinted
labels, with or without barcodes, if desired. FormImprint
can be linked to your HIS system via HL7 or ODBC link
when available or by use of FormFast Print Manager. The
application is HIPAA and CCOW compliant.
Benefits:
Preprinted forms are eliminated
Imprinters are eliminated
Plastic cards are eliminated
Affixing labels unnecessary
Time to order, stock, find forms eliminated
Obsolete forms eliminated
Data fields imprinted are user defined
Bar codes are enabled
