Case Study: Colquitt Regional Medical Center achieves faster registration and major cost savings with Bottomline

Increases Efficiencies and Reduces Costs with Electronic Forms Automation

Colquitt Regional Medical Center, a 99‑bed community teaching hospital in Moultrie, Georgia, faced a slow, paper‑heavy registration process: registrars printed multiple barcoded forms, manually rekeyed data into MEDITECH, generated face sheets and labels, and scanned documents for storage. The redundancies cost time, risked errors, and used significant paper and supplies, creating a priority to speed registration and reduce costs.

Colquitt implemented Bottomline’s eCapture (Logical Ink), On‑Demand Forms (MedEx) and PreCapture, integrating electronic form packets, pre‑populated barcoded packets and at‑home pre‑registration with MEDITECH and bedside signing on tablets. The change saved about four minutes per patient, cut paper use by 63%, achieved 100% ROI within six months, saved $2,500/month on printing, enabled 85% pre‑registration completion, and freed staff to focus more on patient care.
