When it comes to helping field service organizations design mobile forms to solve a wide range of needs, ProntoForms fills many gaps. While we excel in the medical device manufacturing space, our field team platform has been leveraged for a unique use case in the healthcare industry. Patient care.
How ProntoForms helps improve patient care
ProntoForms’ no-code field team platform is renowned for its ability to break data silos. Digital forms on mobile devices empower rapid data collection and real-time information sharing, streamlining work and ensuring data flows back to your back office rapidly without issue. When charged with the delivery of patient care, organizations value the support ProntoForms provides.
A US-based multi-specialty medical practice that offers specialized treatments turned to ProntoForms for assistance with challenges it faced in delivering high-quality patient care as part of a dental outreach program for underserved children across five states.
Ensuring high-quality patient care for a multi-specialty medical practice
The medical practice turned to ProntoForms for help with several issues it encountered in delivering high-quality patient care for its dental outreach program. The challenges it was looking to solve include:
- Regulatory compliance. The organization regularly collects private and personally identifiable information from patients. It required a solution that would empower it to gather patient data easily while complying with HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II and FDA’s Title 21 CFR Part 11.
- Complex conditions & procedures. Before an appointment, an average of 40+ data points are collected per child. During a dental visit, the complex procedures increase the number of data points collected to around 95. The organization sought a solution that could be scaled with minimum effort and accommodate a variety of detailed checklists.
- Remote locations. With mobile dental clinics in underserved communities across five states in the United States, the medical practice needed a solution to capture data in remote areas with poor or no internet connectivity.
- Inefficient paper forms. Using a paper-based process to capture data was a difficult process that required staff to complete duplicate forms.
- Support for a variety of devices. Since its healthcare providers used iOS, Windows, and Android mobile devices, the organization needed a solution that could capture data accurately and was compatible with each of these operating systems.
