Case Study: Alberta Health Services achieves reduced costs, faster nursing workflows and improved patient safety with FormFast

Alberta Health Services Reduces Cost and Improves Efficiency with FormFast

Alberta Health Services (AHS), which operates 99 acute-care hospitals with 8,118 beds, faced rising costs and operational strain from managing large volumes of pre‑printed patient forms. Inconsistent chart bundles, time-consuming daily prep, frequent form revisions, and the risk of using outdated documents threatened efficiency, patient safety and the organization’s environmental goals, so AHS sought a forms solution that would integrate with its existing EMR.

AHS implemented FormFast’s on‑demand eForms, which automatically update, create organized form packets and active patient lists, and print only what’s needed. The change eliminated pre‑printed inventory, reduced paper/ink/shipping costs and storage needs, cut nurses’ prep time, standardized documentation and improved patient safety — while also lowering the health system’s environmental footprint.
