Formedic, the nation’s leading provider of patient record forms, introduces the Medical History Questionnaire (www.FormedicMHQ.com), a free, easy-to-use electronic patient interview that helps physicians save money and time, and requires no technical expertise to setup or use.
“Medical History Questionnaire (MHQ) helps doctors conduct a more focused exam and maintain better documentation to code at appropriate levels and enhance reimbursement,” says Formedic General Manager for MHQ Bruce Rowan. “The system also expedites the patient care process, saving valuable physician time — an average of four minutes per visit, enabling them to increase volume and improve profitability.”
The point-and-click system captures the patient’s history and current symptoms prior to their visit. Running on a standard PC in the waiting area or exam room, or accessible online from a patient’s home or office, MHQ prompts patients through a series of specialty-specific questions based on their chief complaint.
MHQ has the ability to access up to 5,000 unique symptom-based question sets, driven by a series of algorithms. It then turns the patient’s answers into familiar clinical terminology, organizes the positive and negative findings by body organ system, and generates a complete subjective history note.
Developed with input from a variety of physicians including doctors affiliated with the nation’s most prestigious medical institutions, MHQ works for episodic visits, chronic disease visits, annual exams and new patients.
“MHQ is a truly innovative communication tool that links the patient and the physician,” says Rowan. “It improves practice management and enhances the dialogue between both parties because the doctor walks into the exam room better informed and prepared.”
Formedic’s novel system requires no special equipment or technology expertise. MHQ is compatible with electronic medical records (EMRs) and can send patients’ reports to physicians electronically. Physicians can start using the system by visiting www.FormedicMHQ.com.
Ideal for practices of any size, MHQ has capabilities to address the needs of numerous medical specialties including primary care physicians, pediatricians, obstetricians and gynecologists, dermatologists, gastroenterologists, as well as cardiologists, allergists, nephrologists, rheumatologists and other specialties.
Just like the company’s complete line of customized, professional medical forms used by more than 188,000 physicians across the United States, Formedic never charges medical professionals for use of its products. The system is funded by sponsorships from healthcare companies. For more information or to begin using MHQ, visit www.FormedicMHQ.com
