An OnBase ECM Solution is required. OnBase Mobile Healthcare has three modes of use - registration, stand-alone, or integrated with Epic Canto/Haiku. Registration mode eliminates inefficient paper forms and streamlines processes, reducing costs while increasing the accuracy of the most current patient data. Stand-alone or integrated mode allows users to view OnBase content, including DICOM images, create Unity Forms, and capture photos. With optional Clinical Consent Signing, patients can sign packets of consent forms (Unity Forms or Third Party Forms) at bedside. Additionally, when integrated with Epic Canto/Haiku physicians can complete deficiencies. In Registration mode users can: * Sign and complete registration forms pre-populated with the patient information * Eliminate the need to scan paper forms * Speed up the patient registration process * Improve patient registration experience In stand-alone mode clinicians can: * Search for a patient record * View OnBase Content (documents, photos, etc.) * View, zoom, and navigate multi-page documents * Capture photos using the device camera * Scan a barcode to find available packets of Clinical Consents assigned to the patient Integrated with Epic Canto/Haiku clinicians can: * View pending deficiencies and their associated documents * Accept or reject assigned deficiencies quickly and easily * View OnBase Content (documents, photos, etc.) * Create OnBase Unity Forms * Capture photos using the device camera * Scan an Epic generated barcode to launch the OnBase Mobile Healthcare application Using optional Clinical Consents users can: * Complete Clinical Consent capture at bedside using a tablet device * Complete any Unity Forms not completed at Registration * Sign packets of Clinical Consent Documents - OnBase Unity Forms or Third Party Form images * Obtain signatures from patients and clinicians at different times * Secure the signing interface to prevent users from accessing sensitive patient information OnBase Mobile Healthcare requires: * OnBase EP3, EP5, and 22.1 Application Server * OnBase EP3, EP5, and 22.1 Mobile Broker * OnBase Healthcare (Foundation) application * OnBase Unity Forms (if form creation is desired) * OnBase Patient Window (if viewing Patient Lists is desired) * OnBase Front Office Scanning (for Registration mode) * OnBase Clinical Consent Signing (if patient signature capture at bedside is desired)
