Formic Fusion Enterprise for Healthcare
A Trust-wide solution to enable entire organisations or departments at different locations, to accurately capture, process, share and publish information for: patient surveys, patient experience, clinical audit, care pathways, health screening programmes, incident reporting, infection control, medical research, prescriptions processing, revalidation and complaints.
The NHS is looking to transform the way information is accessed, collected and analysed. A greater emphasis on patient experience will mean that Trusts will have to put processes in place for obtaining information from patients in volume, whilst ensuring its quality. Also information must not be used in isolation (i.e. not for one individual department) but used to support the information demands of the whole organisation.
Formic Fusion Enterprise is an integrated solution for deploying and managing information collection programmes. From a single installation, users across a Trust can gain access to these capabilities from anywhere on their network. This enables any number of users to undertake projects at the same time, in real time.
Key Features:
- See the complete picture – all information in one place
- Improve departmental collaboration – share information
- Integrate information with other Trust-systems
- Acquire top level reports of key statistics on patient experience and clinical practices
- Identify issues and improve practices quickly

Multi-channel Information Capture
Design a form once, deploy through multiple channels.
Formic Fusion Enterprise can capture, process and analyse information from paper, web, tablet PC, touch-screen, kiosk or mobile handheld device (PDA/iPhone/Android/Blackberry) forms, simultaneously.
Paper
Collect and analyse information from a high volume of patients, with a low administration cost.
Web
Reach a high volume of participants, at a time of their choosing, with online web forms.
Mobile Handheld Device
Not wi-fi dependant. Surveys can be deployed onto a mobile device, with the results transmitted to the central database.
SMS text
For younger demographics and for shorter surveys, SMS text can ensure high response and completion rates.
Kiosk & touchscreen
In waiting rooms and reception areas, surveys can be deployed on a kiosk or wall-mounted touchscreen.
Tablet PC
Surveys, audits and questionnaires can be completed with ease – either by a nurse, surgeon, or the patient.

Using Formic Fusion Enterprise
“Design the form once, deploy to multiple media, anywhere in the world.”
4. Submit
Completed paper forms are transmitted from multi-function devices or scanners. Electronic forms are sent at the touch of a button. Data is fully validated at the point of submission. Images of the original documents accompany the data in transmission.
5. Process
Using advanced intelligent recognition technologies, Fusion reads and processes the information contained in the forms – automatically recognising handwritten and machine characters, tables, barcodes, tickboxes, company logos etc.
6. Transfer
The final dataset is presented in a recognisable, easy-to-read grid format for sanity-checking prior to transfer. You can filter and re-order the headings and then transfer the data into the central SQL database – held internally or remotely.
1. Form Design
Formic Fusion includes a library of design objects that make it easy to create professional looking surveys. If you already have a form in circulation, you can simply scan it in and copy the image of the form.
2. Form Deployment
The same form can be deployed in any format, anywhere in the world. Design the form once and print it onto paper; publish it on the web; or deploy it to any number of tablet PCs or handheld devices.
3. Form Completion
Tablet PC forms can be completed by using a real or simulated keyboard or with a stylus – our software can accurately read handwriting. Electronic forms can be pre-populated with user data for access at the front-line.
