Helping Hearing Clinics Go Digital

Sycle’s initial “go digital” release helps clinics with the important basics of document storage and management and e-signatures for huge efficiency gains and a stronger patient experience.

Document Management

Sycle Document Management is designed to make it easier to organize, share, and archive documents. Benefits of the service will include:

  • Fast, targeted document searches powered by filters and tags
  • Simple file management through quick uploads or scans of different file formats
  • Digital sharing with physicians and care partners

New eSignature Service

Sycle’s eSignature reduces the time-intensive process of moving documents between multiple people, the company says. It’s designed to eliminate paper shuffling and reduces expenses through:

  • Document sharing between patients and providers for electronic signature
  • Flexible options for when and where signing occurs – remote or in-person
  • Control over the signing order, even for multiple signatures from the same contact

Sycle’s Three-Stage Strategy

Sycle’s robust strategy includes three stages. 

The first stage, Sycle Document Storage and eSignature, will be available in Q2 2024. Stage two closely follows, focusing on digital document templates for key areas such as purchase agreements and physician reporting. The third stage is built around clinic reporting and digital forms. It will introduce new reporting around intake, compliance, and insurance forms and simplify collecting patient information through client history, intake, and insurance forms.

“Modern and paperless, Sycle’s digital clinic strategy provides big wins in time-saving efficiency and a smoother patient experience,” says Joel Lockwood, president, Sycle. “With the industry’s largest client base, we carefully constructed a multi-phase plan to support different clinic needs – all sizes, from the starter stage to established business.”
