This is possibly one of the most time-consuming workflows in any Assisted Living, IDD or Group Home. This is viewed more as a necessary evil, with the staff unaware of even an option to speed this up, smooth it out, improve accuracy and compliance, and greatly reduce the effort involved.

This updated workflow saves you and your staff an enormous amount of time and money (paper/toner costs and employee costs). To achieve this workflow smoothly and easily, you will need an integrated software with resident demographics module, Document Management module, e-fax module, Forms Management module and e-signatures module. This is the advantage of our integrated solution, instead of you buying each of these separately and trying to make them work together.
