Electronic completion of screening questionnaires at a pediatric clinic doubled data capture without lengthening visits, eliminating paper records. Pre-visit data capture allows providers to review information before examinations, prioritizing urgent issues. The goal was to increase data capture during well visits to 80%, achieved by creating digital forms in multiple languages. Positive outcomes include increased enrollment in programs like WIC and improved patient outcomes due to automated EMR guidance. Despite challenges, such as form fatigue, paperless screening has been life-changing for providers. While development was complex, the high response rate indicates success in capturing essential information during well visits.
