Organizations in the healthcare industry sometimes have a stockpile of existing PDF forms and want to make use of them in a modern environment, for example, building their own e-heath platforms. However, using PDF forms brings with it some friction and annoyance as you then try and pair it with your online systems and records. But there is a solution.
Don’t Slow Down Patient Care with PDF Forms
Due to its incompatibility with HTML, PDF forms require patients to download third-party software to fill in, or print out and write down information manually. These extra steps can cause a terrible patient experience as well as a complicated data collection process.
Convert Fillable PDF Healthcare Forms into HTML Forms
The HTML forms allow patient and doctors to fill in medical forms on the website so that data can be better organized. E-healthcare platforms can also utilize these data to provide healthcare recommendations.
FormVu is an SDK developed by IDRSolutions for developers to convert fillable PDF forms into HTML forms.
What Can FormVu Help Healthcare Organisations Achieve?
Improve Patient Experience
Patients can fill out converted HTML forms on any device before they arrive at the clinic/hospital. They don’t need to print PDF forms and fill in manually, or download Acrobat or third-party PDF apps — the forms work in their browsers!
With FormVu, healthcare organisations can reduce the misunderstandings caused by handwriting as well as patients’ confusions from software/plugins.
More Efficient Patient Data Collection
PDF forms are not designed to be compatible with web browsers, therefore it’s hard to retrieve data from it. However, patients can fill in HTML froms converted from PDF forms by FormVu, then submit to a URL.
With FormVu, healthcare organizations can collect patient data for further use without needing to download, print, scan, or re-upload PDFs.
Easier Integration with E-Health Platform
Compared to native HTML forms, PDF forms are trickier to integrate into web applications.
With FormVu, healthcare organizations can integrate the converted HTML forms into a web application workflow while retaining all their interaction and functionality as well as the look of original PDF forms. Here’s an example video of how we integrate it into our website.
Conclusion
Converting fillable PDF healthcare forms into HTML forms can boost the patient user experience, improve patient management efficiency and boost data automation. This can all be achieved all of with FormVu. Click here to try it out!
