The modern hospital is under intense pressure to adopt Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Recent legislation has increased the urgency for modernization. The 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) allocated $19.2 billion to healthcare information IT via the HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health) Act.
Properly implemented, it is the hope that EHRs will lower medical costs, decrease errors, and improve the quality of care. However, experience has shown that physician and nurse productivity and job satisfaction suffer the more they are required to enter data into keyboard-based EHRs.
Shareable Ink's approach is to leverage the time-proven workflows that exist in the hospital. By converting existing forms to digital pen and paper, Shareable Ink allows the effortless, immediate capture of data from paper forms. Discrete data from these forms can then be aggregated to create "dashboards" of quality measures or integrated into your existing EHR.
Shareable Ink creates the "win-win" scenario where providers are able to continue using their familiar workflows while the institution reaps the benefits of digital data capture. |
