But with PatientLink, it takes less than 10 seconds to import data, completely and accurately, into an EMR, she said, while patients can swiftly answer the questions independently in doctors’ waiting rooms.
Some PatientLink customers choose to gather information via iPads or offer surveys online, but paper forms — which don’t break or become outmoded and require no secured logins or assistance — prove the most effective, she said.
