Why do EHR systems still rely on paper-based forms?

While most EHR systems offer electronic forms, they often lack the intelligence, branding flexibility, and cross-system usability of SmartIQ. EHR forms are typically limited to that system and can’t be used across platforms like CRM or RCM. Many providers still rely on PDFs or paper due to signature requirements and the need for a retained copy. SmartIQ addresses these needs with built-in signature support, integrations with eSignature tools (e.g., Adobe, DocuSign), and automatic artifact creation. Most importantly, SmartIQ captures structured data from the start—eliminating the need for OCR, AI, or RPA to process unstructured forms later.
