Alpena Regional Medical Center Reduces Costs And Streamlines Processes With FormFast

Recently, Alpena General Hospital, a 149-bed rural regional referral center in Northeastern Michigan, signed on as a FormFast customer. In the months since their implementation, they’ve realized cost savings and streamlined processes.

"We converted to a new computer system at our hospital about nine years ago," explains Ray Nickles, Director of Information Services at Alpena General Hospital. "Our long range goal is to have a completely electronic medical record, but that’s still in the future. To help us move closer to that goal, we went looking for a system to help us clean up our paper."

Alpena General Hospital sent out a Request for Proposal to industry vendors to help them with this process, then narrowed the list of choices.

"We needed and wanted a system that scans itself, indexes itself, reads what documents are, and offers scanning capabilities, " explains Nickles. "We knew the answer to getting this done meant bar codes. So we wanted an electronic system that would let us do bar codes."
