Document Scanning for Healthcare
More and more physicians are choosing to move away from paper charts and gain the benefits of a document imaging system. The benefits are simply too compelling to ignore. But does that mean that you have to move to a full-fledged EMR system to benefit from electronic records? No. At RSRS we’re helping physicians go paperless whether they’re moving to an EMR system or whether they simply want to manage their paper digitally. Either way, RSRS will help you take the “backfile” of active patient records and clear out the paper so that you can find the records when and where you need them.
Fully indexed scanning
Our document scanning service will take your active patient files, scan and index them and ensure that not one record is missing for a patient visit. You will be able to search for any record by any one or more of the following fields: patient name, D.O.B., health card number, patient ID number, etc. You can also further index patient records by labs, ecg’s, consult letters, etc.
Patient files are easy to find
One frequent problem mentioned by medical staff is the difficulty in finding active patients charts, because they move around a lot. With our imaging system, you will virtually eliminate the time staff wastes looking for patient information. Your patient files will be placed in one electronic location that can be securely accessed by multiple users at multiple locations. This improved access to patient records allows a practice to focus on more important tasks and enhancing patient care.
Free up hundreds of square feet of office space
Patient records have to be stored for 10 years from the date last seen. For pediatricians, the requirement is 10 years from the age of majority. A major benefit of an electronic document management system is the immediate reduction of paper to be stored and the freeing up of valuable square footage to be used for more productive purposes.
Common problems with paper files are eliminated:
- Identifying which patients belong to which doctor.
- Eliminating paperwork and notes falling out of the file.
- Purging inactive patient records.
- Incessantly placing patients on hold when they call in order to locate their files.
Doesn't disrupt established office procedures
A key advantage to our document imaging system is that it doesn't disrupt established procedures in an office. In fact, the office can still use paper if desired. The important thing is to make the transition as comfortable as possible with full consideration for the way in which you ultimately would like to access patient information.
