It's unbelievable that's it's still paper.  No way to do it in advance electronically from home.  No way to mine data from existing records or populate fields as you go.  No box to check if nothing has changed since you were there last week.  You're stuck writing your name, address, phone numbers, etc. in 4 places on the same page.

There are many ways to digitize the process, but most are cost-prohibitive for your local doc office. That's what happens when GE controls the market and why the government is now mandating electronic records. Mandates for electronic registrations aren't far away, GE just has to grease the right palms.

And as the finance side of the house, I require those validations every visit because patients lie all the time to avoid paying.
