By FormFast

John D. Archbold Memorial Hospital, located in Thomasville, Georgia, is an 800-bed facility that has been serving the people of Southern Georgia and Northern Florida since 1925. It's the anchor of a 5-hospital network that also includes Brooks County Hospital, Early Memorial Hospital, Grady General Hospital and Mitchell County Hospital. Although geographically separated by some 120 miles, these five facilities rely on a common Siemens hospital information system and often provide care to a shared patient population—so system downtime presents special challenges.

FormFast enabled Archbold's seamless downtime experience, but that hasn't been the only benefit to the five hospitals. Archbold was also able to take control of all its electronic forms and related forms design activity in a cooperative venture with their forms vendor. According to Lou Ellen Parker, Director of Admissions for Archbold Medical Center, "With our previous vendor, we were waiting 6-8 weeks to get updates on forms. On top of that, we had cost issues. Even the simplest changes to a form might cost $800. We chose FormFast because we liked the downtime module and the self-design option. With FormFast we have real-time changes; better control, and we're not paying an outside vendor to revise our forms."
