title: Smartphone app speeds registration.
abstract: Two Denver area EDs have entered the digital world with the use of a mobile application that allows patients to pre-register before coming to the ED. Patients can use their smart phones to determine if they need to go to the ED and which one is closest. The ED registration desk receives the pre-registration form, which provides basic information, via fax. Once the information is received, registration notifies the charge nurse so the ED can prepare to receive the patient.
