Allscripts' custom forms creation tool enables your staff to create a digital version of any paper form used within your organization then complete and store them automatically into the patient record. Once created, these electronic forms can be used day-after-day, patient-after-patient, without the additional cost of re-printing or staff time used to complete forms due to system-populated fields.

Physician practices spend thousands of dollars each year on pre-printed forms only to physically sign or manually complete them with patient data that could be pulled from their practice management or document management system. The optimal solution would allow a practice to create unlimited electronic versions of their currently preprinted forms. This solution would also allow the practice to re-use the electronic form as many times as they choose, edit the form as needed, and incorporate workflow options for routing the document internally.

Forms, Allscripts' custom forms creation tool, is the solution. This innovative module, which launches directly from Allscripts Document Management, the award-winning medical document management and workflow system, enables practices to decrease costs previously attributed to pre-printed forms. Forms also eliminates unnecessary manual labor formally spent completing pre-printed forms and provides electronic workflow and tracking of important medical information contained in electronic forms within the system. Electronic forms can be designed from scratch or created on a scanned version of a current paper form enabling quick and easy construction.

The ePrescribing solution from Allscripts the industry's most trusted and widely used ePrescribing software in the United States. Thousands of physicians have written millions of prescriptions using Allscripts' technology because no other solution is faster, safer or more reliable. It's simple to use as it intuitively learns the physician's behavior - increasing the efficiency of the prescribing process.ePrescribing helps clinicians increase patient safety, reduce pharmacy callbacks, and improve office efficiency.

With more than three billion prescriptions written per year, prescribing is one of the largest, paper-based processes in our nation. Not surprisingly, it is also one of the most inefficient. With approximately a third of all prescriptions generating a callback from a pharmacy, physicians and their staff spend hours of time each week pulling charts and verifying information. However, more importantly, there are consistently issues with the safety of the prescribing process as medication errors result in thousands of deaths annually.

With desktop, laptop or wireless tablet computers, physicians can securely access Rx+ to quickly prescribe, check for drug interactions, access medical histories and review drug reference information.
