With Century's FormFullCircle™ technology electronic PDF forms can be submitted directly to any email address(es) and/or document storage and retrieval repository. The form will automatically be indexed with data from the form allowing for instant retrieval using specific search criteria. The form data can also be saved to a database. By using FormsFullCircle™ technology, forms such as Patient Information forms can be filled out by the patient at home. They would submit the encrypted form securely to the medical office's email, where the patient's insurance information can be verified days before the patient arrives for the appointment.
