FORMS AND DATA COLLECTION TOOLS DEVELOPMENT

Need help with developing policies, procedures, credentialing letters, or privileging forms? Kathy will work with you and your medical staff officers in developing the right credentialing privileging tools for your medical staff. 

Many medical practices strive to provide patients with comfortable, professional facilities, but then lose that professional appearance by giving patients forms to complete that have been copied so many times that they can barely be read. Kathy can help you design efficient, attractive, user friendly, forms in a format that works for your office – WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, or PDF. Get the paper form, plus the electronic file so that you can do future updates yourself and save money! See how much updating those tired, old forms will add to your office’s professional appearance!
