When the Department of Diagnostic Audiology at Children's Hospital Boston decided to implement a wireless electronic data capture solution, officials knew they had a number of challenges to overcome.

Mi-Forms converts handwritten paper forms into electronic forms, said Melissa Neal, vice president of sales at Mi-Co, in Research Triangle Park, N.C. The data is entered on a tablet PC and transmitted wirelessly to hospital databases, clinical care applications, and Medicare and Medicaid program administrators, Neal said. Since the data only needs to be entered once on the tablet PC, lost forms, triplicate copies, form-filling errors, manual keying errors and data entry backlogs are eliminated, she said.
