Mi-Forms can help solve challenges that the healthcare industry faces by streamlining the flow of information between patient, healthcare giver, and administrators. IT challenges in the healthcare industry include quick and secure access to patient data, accurate data capture, and the efficient transfer of information. Capturing healthcare information with Mi-Forms combines the features and benefits of paper forms with the efficiency and accuracy of electronic technology. For example, nurses from the Wilson County Home Health Agency are capturing data on patient history and diagnoses in the patients home in a pilot study to increase data quality with the Mi-Forms System and the Tablet PC (details)

For example, in a large cardiology hospital, doctors need to be able to make drawings and sketches of patient's hearts on paper for comparison over time. The challenge is to store those handwritten "paper records" in an electronic format so that the information is instantly available in any given part of the medical complex. Mi-Forms can capture vital records of personal data about patients (such as patient ID, name, age, etc.) in addition to drawings or sketches that record the patients' condition and handwritten free-form progress notes that the physician can make immediately after examining the patient.

Other applications for Mi-Forms in the healthcare industry are:

• Clinical Research
• Collection of clinical data
• Visit info from clinical coordinators, investigators
• Hospitals
  • Electronic medical records
  • Progress notes
  • Clinical data
  • Document management
  • Collection of patient survey data
  • Charge capture
• Physician Practices
  • Electronic medical records
  • Progress notes
  • Charge capture
• Home Healthcare
  • Collection of patient survey data
  • Charge capture

Mi-Forms can take any existing or new paper form and enable digital data capture, building in business rules and logic. For example, a busy nurse or PA would not be able to transmit the data from the survey form below without first filling in the Patient ID completely and correctly. If the user attempted to transmit the incomplete data to the database, Mi-Forms would send a message to the user indicating that the ID number was missing or incomplete therefore providing an opportunity to correct the data before transmission to the database. Mi-Forms can ensure that healthcare workers can collect more accurate and precise data by applying business rules at the point where the data is captured.

The Texas Army National Guard chose Mi-Forms to capture critical Medical Electronic Records when they needed to know in a hurry how many soldiers were fit for duty (details).
