RR Donnelley can help Amerinet members further reduce printing costs and minimize the amount of time employees spend on paper work through an exclusive program called Document Pathways . Document Pathways is a document audit and standardization methodology designed to consolidate, eliminate and standardize forms and information gathering within a single facility or throughout the entire IDN. There are five main benefits to our Document Pathways process:
- Reduce the number of forms, typically by up to 20%
- Decrease charting time and duplicate charting
- Increase charting accuracy which will reduce risk of charting errors
- Lower overall forms expenses
- Reduce obsolescence
The following case study provides an example of the benefits one healthcare organization realized through Document Pathways.
The customer is a non-profit healthcare provider with over 20 facilities. The 'flagship' facility is a 500-bed hospital, the remaining facilities range from 20 to 350 bed hospitals.
Key benefits to the customer implementing Document Pathways include:
- $2.7 million in hard dollar savings since program's inception over eight years ago
- A total of 9,000 eliminated forms, representing a 30% decrease
- Eliminated the need for additional in-service training as employees transfer from hospital to hospital with the system.
- Improved accuracy, thus reducing the chance for charting errors
- More consistent medical records
- Improved forms design, facilitating more accurate, efficient usage as well as more polished, professional image for the entire hospital system
- Expedited compliance with JCAHO standards
