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 3

4 A better workflow Centricity RIS-IC eforms frees you from the bonds of paper. No stacks of folders cluttering desks and file rooms. No rows of file cabinets, just clear, readable, accurate information, on hand where and when you need it. Winning combination Leveraging eforms for documentation and using DMS for any remaining paper-based documents puts the information your staff needs right at their fingertips. Say goodbye to paper files Increasing workloads, staff shortages, and stricter regulations make streamlined workflow more important than ever. eforms, combined with the Centricity RIS-IC Document Management Solution (DMS), frees you from the inefficiencies of paper-based filing by making forms available electronically and digitizing paper-based documents directly in the RIS. It gives you fast, secure access to information, which can help you increase productivity, shorten the revenue cycle, reduce lost charges and claim denials, and generally improve business performance. With DMS, convert paper forms to digital documents embedded in your radiology workflow.
