“When we knew we were going to make the switch to Electronic Health Records from our paper based system we called in the H.I.Mentors team to help us develop a plan to make it happen smoothly. The first step of their consultation was to conduct an extensive forms inventory. This inventory was very thorough and a critical first step in organizing our forms to ready them for the transition to EHR.

During the process we categorized and identified numerous forms that needed revision to allow them to be properly scanned and filed electronically for multiple facilities. This process helped us organize and streamline our forms and allowed us to get our arms around all the different forms various departments were using on a daily basis ”
