Paperless Entry

Kiosk entry is a question by question on screen method for gathering information from the
patient. It replaces the patient marking the Health Questionnaire form. Each question must be
answered before the next question is asked or becomes visible. The current question is
highlighted with a different background color. Option buttons are used when only one answer
is allowed. Check boxes are used when a question can have multiple answers.

The large, difficult to use arrays for complaints have been replaced with body diagrams to
select complaint locations. The columns of the array (symptoms, intensity, characteristic,
frequency, and status) have become separate questions about the complaint. These questions
make describing the complaint self explanatory. There are separate body diagrams for the
selection of each region's complaints (spine, upper extremities, lower extremities, and
headaches). A summary of complaints is presented for patient review and modification.

A text entry window will appear when the patient clicks on an answer, such as "Other", that
requires additional information. The text entry window will contain instructions for what is
required and will provide an example of an answer. A "Will Explain to Doctor" check box is
present on the text entry window for questions the patient has difficulty answering.

After the patient finishes answering all the kiosk questions their responses will be automatically
marked on an HQ form image by the OnScreen paperless entry function. The form images
can be viewed in the OnScreen program and then scanned into DocumentPlus for document
generation.

The kiosk entry program is designed to run on any work station in your office. The active kiosk
entry patient is controlled from any workstations running DocumentPlus. Typically, the kiosk
entry workstation is placed in the waiting area and is controlled by the DocumentPlus
workstation at the front desk. When a patient is first entered into DocumentPlus, an HQ kiosk
entry with status new is created. The kiosk status for a patient can be activated either on
Information 2 of the patient data bases function or using utility function Kiosk Workstation
Control.

The patient is prevented from answering questions or selecting answers that do not pertain to
their previous response to: male/female, family members, and occupational status. This
prevents validation errors when the kiosk data is converted to a data entry form image and
scanned.
