The Microsoft Office Reference Implementation for Clinical Forms
The Microsoft Office reference implementation for clinical forms illustrates how Microsoft technology can help emergency room personnel better collect, retrieve, and share patient information. Solutions based on the reference implementation can improve clinical staff productivity by replacing paper records with electronic forms and collaboration software.
Once implemented, the system helps clinicians become more productive and efficient. It also helps to reduce patient waiting times, lowers the possibility of treatment errors, and offers fast access to patient information.
Instant Access to Patient Information
The reference implementation for clinical forms is based on a proof of concept in an actual clinical environment. An electronic whiteboard helps the emergency room staff monitor and track:
| • | Admitted patients |
| • | Patient acuity |
| • | Patient location |
| • | Attending nurse and doctor |
| • | Time of admittance, discharge, and transfer |
Key Features of the Reference Implementation
The reference implementation is a download that includes forms, code samples, and documentation to help your IT staff or your preferred Microsoft partner create a form-based solution. The solution automates the collection, retrieval, and sharing of emergency department patient information—improving operations and increasing staff productivity.
