FastFlow Review

Improving healthcare

Healthcare is a demanding business and hospital employees need tools to help them work faster and smarter. FastFlow by FormFast replaces manual, paper-based processes with an online, paperless workflow platform. Its web-based eForms look like the paper documents your staff are familiar with but with robust features designed to speed up processes, capture data, and populate dashboards and reports with crucial metrics.

Data capture

Data is captured discretely via fillable fields on the FormFast eForms. Information can be collected from existing data sources, such as the registration system, and pre-populated to maintain the continuity of the data. Remaining values are typed into the form or selected from drop-down lists, preventing handwriting errors. FormFast’s fillable eForms allow data to be:

• Analyzed to decide how to route the document via conditional route steps
• Populated in other eForms for improved data integrity
• Presented in dashboards or reports for better utilization

Barcoding of patient and form identifiers on forms is an important step, streamlining the archival process and ensuring correct submission of documents into the electronic medical record. FormFast produces the identifiers automatically, preventing the occurrence of manual mistakes and eliminating superfluous tasks for hospital employees.

Workflow routing

FormFast allows you to create a smart workflow route for each process using an intuitive Visual Workflow Designer tool. With this tool, workflow steps, required approvals, and other business logic are easily defined with simple drag-and-drop functionality.

Process standardization – The Visual Workflow Designer feature gives process owners a way to visualize their workflow and standardize the procedure to their specifications.

Dynamic workflow – In addition to the pre-defined workflow route, FastFlow can analyze the data on the form to dynamically determine where the eForm should be routed next.

Notifications – When a routed eForm needs action, such as an approval or review, FastFlow sends the recipient a notification to expedite the completion of the task.

In-flight workflow status – Supplementing the notification feature, FastFlow allows users to see the real-time status of uncompleted workflows they have initiated.

Audit trail – FastFlow maintains an electronic audit trail to quickly validate compliance and confirm policy and procedure adherence of both clinical and non-clinical processes.

Dashboards and reports – Discrete data elements are captured electronically, and can be presented for analysis in custom dashboards and reports.

Paperless archival

FastFlow instantly sends the completed eForms and appropriate context to ensure that documents are archived correctly and securely in the right storage location, eliminating the need for printing and scanning while maintaining a complete, electronic record with the paperless archival functionality.

Enterprise automation strategy

FastFlow is an enterprise automation platform that solves problems in a number of areas including materials management, revenue cycle, administrative, quality, risk, IT, clinical, HR, and purchasing.
