BFL&S: What kind of impact are electronic medical records having on the forms industry? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using e-forms instead of traditional paper-based forms?
Maggio: Today, the admissions process has been greatly simplified. Rarely do you see the very complex multiple-part sets; rather, the patient fills out forms that are relatively simple. This information is used as input into the computer system to generate the necessary paperwork—including patient identification—and, of course, to set up the digital patient file which is referred to throughout the patient’s stay. I feel the major impact will be on medical files and filing systems, as most records will be retained digitally.
