Mobius Clinic’s Document Library helps physicians save time completing forms

Healthcare providers are spending more time than ever on documentation and paperwork, leading many down a path of frustration and burnout. If you're a physician looking for an easy and efficient way to save time completing forms, you have to try Mobius Clinic's Document Library.

Repetitive forms waste time

According to the American College of Physicians, doctors spend about two hours on “desk work” for every hour spent with a patient. While much of this work is EMR data entry, physicians and their staff also spend a lot of time completing forms.Most forms are necessary. But every extra minute spent filling out paperwork is time that could be used to treat patients. To make matters worse, most medical forms repeatedly ask for basic information already stored in the EMR. Consider the forms you fill out on any given day at the office:

• Consent Forms
• Letters with Practice Letterhead
• FMLA Forms
• Parking Placard Applications
• Patient Health Questionnaires
• Workers Comp RFAs
• Other custom documents for your practice

Imagine your current workflow with these documents. First, someone on your team prints the form and has someone complete it. Second, you have to scan the form and upload it to the EMR. Patients complete some forms on their own, but others require staff assistance and physician signatures. Many forms, like referral letters, require physicians to do the heavy lifting. All forms require repetitive information such as patient name, address, and insurance details.

Mobius Clinic has a feature called Document Library that helps physicians save time completing forms by automating half the work.Document Library makes it easy for doctors and their staff to streamline form completion.
