Use cases
Healthcare providers and pharmacies save processing time to better serve their customers by providing electronic forms and signature capture solutions that interface directly into their EMR/EHR system and insurance provider networks. Epic Imaging in Portland Oregon utilizes Wacom interactive pen displays for patient registration and Wacom signature tablets for authorizing insurance claims onsite. MedInformatix provides the electronic medical record software that supports Wacom signature tablets and interfaces with the insurance claims centers.
One of largest hospital networks has installed thousands of Wacom interactive pen displays to improve the efficiency of the patient registration process. All patients, regardless of their technical abilities, are comfortable with walking up to a Wacom pen display to read the admissions and consent forms in their entirety on screen and then proceed to either complete the forms with the pen or sign directly on the screen. The information technology and services department of the hospital network has observed significant improvements in the patient registration process which has also reduced patient waiting time.
