- Patient registration time can be dramatically reduced by eliminating unnecessary tasks.
- Patients can see the electronic document they are signing, providing them a more comfortable registration process.

- Paper and document disposal services can be eliminated providing a better environmental approach.
Use cases
A medium-sized radiology clinic reduced their patient registration costs by 72% with the introduction of Wacom pen displays to their radiology information system (RIS). These costs included the administrative personnel cost plus the equipment and processing costs of paper that were eliminated. Most importantly, patient satisfaction was improved by lowering the waiting time for patient from 20 minutes to 5 minutes.
A large hospital improved their patient registration process, eliminated paper costs, and maintained a high level of patient satisfaction when using Wacom pen displays. Even patients unfamiliar with digital technology readily accepted the idea of signing documents directly on the screen, because it is a natural, familiar, and easily understandable process.
