Online Patient Forms – Death of the Clipboard

Let's be honest about a 21st-century reality: patients detest filling out paper forms.

Who relishes sitting with strangers in a doctor's waiting room and scribbling answers to the most personal questions possible on pages and pages of paper loosely held to a clipboard? No one.

When it comes to Internet conveniences, the healthcare industry is woefully behind the curve. People take care of just about every personal matter online now, from banking to ordering holiday gifts to looking for a mate – except in healthcare.

At Vanguard Communications we are on a personal crusade to abolish the humiliating hassle of filling out paper forms in doctors' offices. For this reason, we have developed online forms that can be adapted to almost any medical practice.

Advantages of our forms include:

Patients having the freedom 24/7 to complete medical forms privately in the place and at the time of their choosing.
Automated processing, in which completed forms are stored safely on a computer for accessing by the appropriate practice staff at their convenience and under password protection.
E-mail notification to the practice automatically whenever a patient completes a form.
Compliance with HIPPA and PHI standards.

Of course, we'd be more than happy to demonstrate our forms anytime. Please contact us for a one-on-one appointment.

Or just catching its breath for a new competitive sprint in a different format? The Pew Charitable Trust's annual report on American media says people appreciate journalism perhaps as much as ever. But mass communications is reaching a pivot point in accelerating changes.
