Texas-based practice reduces paper use and saves check-in time by transitioning to digital consent forms

WESTBOROUGH, Mass.: Be Well Primary Care Medicine PLLC is successfully leveraging healow® Sign, a healow patient engagement solution, to enhance the patient experience and streamline front office workflows. The practice reports that over 95% of its patients now use healow Sign for faster check-in during office visits. The practice also utilizes the eClinicalWorks Cloud and V12 EHR to better serve its patient population through real-time cloud intelligence and enhanced usability.

Be Well Primary Care specializes in internal medicine and preventive care services in Fort Worth, Texas. Their goal is to provide a complete, end-to-end healthcare experience by partnering with specialists and facilities that also prioritize prevention and healthy lifestyles with compassion, care and excellence in mind.

“Our front desk sends consent forms electronically to patients before their appointments, saving time during check-in,” says Miriam Reyes, head of special projects at Be Well Primary Care Medicine. “healow Sign has significantly benefited us. We're not getting as many documents anymore; we're doing mostly everything electronically. I would say less than 5% of patients do not fill out the forms in advance, usually older patients who need assistance with technology. healow Sign has helped add new family members or case managers to HIPAA forms without needing patients to come into the office. We improved consent forms using healow Sign, reducing the need for paper and scanning.”

healow Sign allows providers to create digital forms that patients can complete and sign with the healow App. Patients no longer have to print, scan, fax, or email signed documents and consent forms. Additionally, providers can easily add the completed form to the patient record.

Key features of healow Sign include:

• Patients are notified through email and text messages to complete a verification check that allows them to electronically view, edit, complete, and electronically submit a consent form.
• Practices have access to an activity panel that allows them to see all the healow Sign forms that patients have received, completed, and returned to the practice.
• Practices can access a responses queue that shows all the healow Sign forms submitted by patients and the status of each form.
• Practices can view analytics, including month-to-month comparisons of how many surveys were opened and completed, with a breakdown of use by gender and age.
• For security, patients can verify their date of birth and phone number to receive a one-time password, allowing them to access documents to sign.
