Mobile Documentation Helps Griffin Hospital Go Paperless

Griffin Hospital is a 160-bed acute care community hospital located in Derby, CT. When the hospital was preparing to open a new, state-of-the-art cancer center to provide radiation, medical, and surgical oncology services, it established a few key objectives. One of those goals was to provide patient-centered care in a paperless environment. The management of patient consent forms and the patient signature process were obstacles to achieving this goal.

The hospital was implementing a new EMR for radiation therapy, however it did not provide the ability for patient consent forms to be handled electronically. They had to be printed first, signed, and then scanned on a document scanner to become part of the patient’s electronic record.

The answer came in the form of a mobile documentation solution that made the management of patient consent documents not only paperless, but simple for both staff and patients to work with.
