How eAdmissisons improves the patient journey
eAdmissions has been designed to improve patient safety, sustainability, and systems integration. It offers a number of significant benefits.
- The patient has the ability to save a draft at any time and come back to complete their data later.
- It improves data security.
- The inconvenience of returning admission forms via post, email, or in person is removed as the patient (or support person) is now able to submit a form with the click of a button.
- Online forms improve data completion, data accuracy, as well as issues with postal delays, misplaced and lost forms.
- Within MyHealthcare, the admission forms are divided into sections, providing improved user experience as the patient navigates their way through the forms and enters their information.
- During the eAdmissions pilot at Southern Cross Auckland Surgical Centre, patients who had previously gone through the paper admission form process all agreed eAdmissions was easier, simpler, and more convenient than the previous approach.
