FormFast Announces Webinar Addressing Critical Need For Workflow Automation In Hospitals

Guest presenter from a leading analyst firm will explore apparent and hidden costs of disjointed, incomplete and broken clinical and business processes

FormFast, a leading provider of enterprise workflow solutions, recently announced a free Webinar designed to shed light on the value of automated workflow solutions in hospital settings. The hour-long event, titled "World class doctors, world class treatment, broken workflow processes," featuring guest speaker Barry Runyon of Gartner, will be held at 11 a.m. (CDT) Thursday, November 11.

As stimulus dollars fuel the adoption of EMR technologies that support clinical operational excellence, U.S. hospitals continue to circulate patient consent forms, physician queries, administrative, HR and risk management forms using an inter-office mail cart. This staggering gap in technology results in an unlikely scenario: unparalleled care supported by broken administrative processes.

Drawing on his extensive experience in the healthcare space as a consultant, systems architect and C-level executive with an academic medical center, featured speaker Barry Runyon, an analyst with Gartner, will offer his opinion on the need for hospitals to repair what he refers to as "herky-jerky" processes. He also will discuss why he believes workflow automation is an asset that can strengthen the bottom line through improved customer satisfaction, streamlined processes, cost reductions and resource optimization.

Featured guest Runyon likewise will explain why he contends that information technology will play a much larger role in collaborative care by 2020, pointing to workflow automation and business process management as two significant components of the healthcare equation.

"As hospitals adopt technologies that will help them demonstrate Meaningful Use, they continue to be plagued by ineffective workflow processes that waste time and erode the bottom line," says Rob Harding, president and CEO of FormFast. "We are confident that this free Webinar will provide valuable information for hospital executives and IT directors who are looking for ways to reduce costs and transform their businesses by taking control of their broken processes."
