About the organization

Founded in 1985, this comprehensive healthcare provider serves over 200,000 patients annually through their network of primary care facilities, specialty clinics, and outpatient surgery centers. With a staff of 850+ healthcare professionals across 12 locations, the organization provides integrated care in family medicine, pediatrics, cardiology, orthopedics, and women's health.

The challenge

Prior to implementing Formaloo, they were struggling with an outdated, paper-based patient intake system that created significant challenges:

Patient frustration

• New patients spent 15-20 minutes completing lengthy intake forms
• Returning patients had to re-enter the same personal information for each specialist visit
• Follow-up appointments required repetitive form completion
• Insurance information needed to be submitted multiple times

Administrative inefficiency

• Front desk staff spent 4+ hours daily on manual data entry
• Multiple forms created redundant workflows
• Paper forms required physical storage and complicated retrieval
• Information often became outdated or inaccurate across different departments

Data management issues

• 30% of forms contained incomplete or erroneous data
• Inconsistent data collection between departments
• Difficulty tracking patient history across specialties
• Compliance risks due to paper records management
• Limited ability to analyze patient data for improvement opportunities

"We were drowning in paperwork," explains the organization's Director of Patient Experience. "Our waiting rooms were full of frustrated patients filling out the same information over and over. Our staff was overwhelmed with data entry, and the quality of our patient data was suffering. We needed a digital solution that could streamline the entire process while improving the patient experience."

The solution: Formaloo's "Forms that remember you"

After evaluating several digital form solutions, they selected Formaloo's platform for its unique ability to create interconnected, intelligent forms that remember patient information across multiple touchpoints.

Implementation strategy

The implementation was rolled out in three phases:

Phase 1: Digital transformation (Months 1-2)

• Converted all paper forms to digital formats on the Formaloo platform
• Created a comprehensive patient database with proper security protocols
• Trained administrative staff on the new system
• Piloted the solution at two locations

Phase 2: Intelligent form integration (Months 3-4)

• Implemented the "Forms That Remember You" feature across all departments
• Connected patient data across specialty areas
• Created a patient portal for self-service access
• Expanded to six additional locations

Phase 3: Full deployment & optimization (Months 5-6)

• Deployed the solution across all 12 locations
• Integrated with electronic health record (EHR) system
• Implemented automated workflow triggers based on form responses
• Developed analytics dashboard for process improvement

Key solution components

1. Comprehensive patient intake system

This healthcare organization developed a master patient intake form that collected all essential information in a single, user-friendly interface. This form established the foundation of patient data that would be remembered and reused across all subsequent interactions.

2. Intelligent specialty forms

‍When patients scheduled appointments with specialists, Formaloo automatically generated pre-populated forms with the patient's existing information. These forms only required additional information specific to the specialty, reducing redundant data entry by 80%.

3. Patient membership portal

‍Patients received secure access to a personalized portal where they could:

• View and update their personal information
• Complete pre-appointment forms from home
• Receive appointment reminders with links to necessary forms
• Access their visit history and form submissions

4. Digital signature integration

‍All consent forms and legal documents were digitized with Formaloo's eSign feature, eliminating the need for printing and physical signatures while maintaining full HIPAA compliance.

5. Automated workflow triggers

‍The system automatically initiated specific workflows based on form responses:

• Insurance verification requests triggered upon submission of insurance information
• Specialist referrals generated when primary care forms indicated certain conditions
• Follow-up appointment scheduling prompted by post-procedure form responses

Results and impact

After six months of full implementation across all locations, the healthcare provider documented significant improvements in multiple areas:

Patient experience transformation

• Form completion time decreased from 15+ minutes to under 5 minutes
• 90% of patients rated the new intake process as "excellent" or "very good"
• 78% of patients now complete their forms before arriving for appointments
• Patient wait times reduced by 12 minutes on average
• Net Promoter Score increased from 67 to 82

Operational efficiency

• Administrative staff saved 3+ hours daily on data entry
• Patient capacity increased by 22% (4 additional patients per day per location)
• Form completion accuracy improved from 70% to 98%
• Chart preparation time decreased by 62%
• $387,000 annual cost savings from reduced administrative overhead
• ROI achieved within 4.5 months of implementation

Data quality and utilization

• 85% reduction in data entry errors
• Creation of comprehensive patient profiles with consistent data
• Improved care coordination between specialties
• Enhanced ability to analyze patient trends and needs
