The Paperless Frontier: How Integrated Forms Are Good For Your Practice
All you have to do to get a sense of how the world is going paperless is to head down to your local coffee shop. Everywhere you will see people on their computers and phones. At home, how much work do you do on paper versus a digital method? Probably not much. Why is it then that the healthcare industry is reported as using twice as much paper as other industries?
Fortunately, this does not have to be the case with integrated paperless forms. Vet Hero’s Efficiency Software includes the only completely customizable, drag-and-drop form builder solution that writes back directly into your PIMS available in the veterinary industry. With this functionality, your practice can create whatever forms you need and have clients fill out forms prior to their appointment, or on a tablet at your practice. This eliminates the paper trail, which not only serves the environment, but streamlines the efficiency of your practice and gives it a “shine”.
Good For the Environment
What do we mean by giving your practice a shine? This is not just looking clean and efficient as you hand a tablet to your client in the waiting room or making their life easier through advance completion of forms, but also shows that your practice is environmentally sensitive.
More and more customers of all kinds are looking to give their money to businesses that reflect their values, and being environmentally conscious is high on the list of modern values. Adopting technology that eliminates unneeded paper use is the kind of thing that gives your business a shine in the eyes of prospective clients. Moreover, it really is good for the environment, and is a net positive for the world.
