Understanding Medical Records Scanning Services

By Loris F. Anders


Healthcare Organizations are busy trying to implement the set HER and EMR systems that are aimed at having all medical records of patients and everything else in such facilities to be digital. Clinics and practices have realized that the scanning of medical records is a bigger challenge than they had anticipated earlier. This has led to an increase in the demand for scanning services in many clinics and medical practices.

It would be advisable to ensure that you get such services from companies that are highly experienced to work for you. This will enable you to avoid falling into similar pitfalls that other practices have found themselves in on past occasions. They have developed ways and measures to ensure that they do not fall into these issues again but rather deal with them effectively.

They are able to coordinate the process of preparing your documents in full, box them and then proceed to transport them to their facility for the scanning process. They even barcode every box and patient chart that is taken away from the clinic. This normally saves you lots of money and time that would have been spent trying to do the job on your own.

After getting into the facility, the documents are prepared well for the scanning process to start by ensuring that they are free from any staples or fasteners and damaged pages are repaired. The documents are then arranged in the correct manner to ensure that information flows smoothly to give a clear picture of all the information in your patient chart. This will guarantee you of easy access when you need to review any information.

When all your documents are scanned using the latest technology scan machines, each image is usually reviewed to ensure that it will be of a high quality and readable. This is quality control to ensure that the work is done to perfection. It ensures that nothing is missed during the scans.

The professionals then assist you to have your work indexed well. This will make it easy and possible to access the scanned images in your software using the date, names or patient number. This data is then imported to the system that the clinic uses like EMR or the HER.

It is important that you budget accordingly for amount of money you are going to pay for the patient charts to be scanned. Most rates are determined by the number of pages. You can get friendly charges depending on your documents volume.
