3. Paper forms stand between
you and a streamlined workflow
and a more efficient radiology
department. Paper costs time.
New documents must be printed, copied, and filed. Forms
must be attached to patient charts and moved from location
to location. And illegible handwriting and lost or misfiled
documents create opportunity for errors. Paper costs money.
Printing, managing, and storing paper can rack up significant
charges. Printed documents take up valuable space. And most
importantly, tracking and moving forms takes away from other,
more productive activities.
Don’t settle for paper-lite,
go paperless
