Description
Integrating outreach satellite clinics such as school-based services’ paper registration to electronic registration has many benefits. The most important benefit is there is no need to exchange forms between the school locations, the Federally Qualified Health Clinic (FQHC) and the student’s home. The consent and registration forms can be completed and signed online by the parents or guardians which lessens the chances of the paperwork not being completed, lost, illegible or not being completed in entirety. Also, the up-to-date medical information can be accessible by treatment teams at the FQHC and the satellite location. This project will review the mechanics of transitioning from paper records in a computer application that can be customized to integrate into the FQHC electronic medical records so the patient’s records will be together, organized, and accessible.
