It is indeed rare that a single technology can reduce expenses, help deliver better care, decrease the time patients spend in hospitals, and save time and money for healthcare professionals and doctors offices. A professional document scanning service and digital document archiving can do all this and more. Converting paper documents to scanned electronic images not only offers the benefits mentioned above, but this scanning service can also improve a healthcare facility\'s workflow and help change the way it does business and interacts with its patients.

Having medical records and medical office documents on electronic media such as CD or network server, or shared network attached drives, can make storage and retrieval of information easier, providing significant advantages over using the paper or physical versions. Quick access to documents can help your medical practice, doctor’s office or hospital reduce costs by improving efficiency. Retrieving information electronically means key staff members are available for more important duties rather than searching through closets, boxes, folders, and hundreds of physical document pages.

Instead, retrieval is accomplished from a computer with a quick keyword search or by browsing an index list. The scanned pages are available for viewing, printing, faxing or emailing without using additional paper, or juggling folders.

Scandoc Imaging (www.scandocimaging.com) is a document scanning service that converts your organization\'s important medical records and office documents to digital images. This process is sometimes called "document scanning service", "document imaging" or "digital imaging." We provide images in the popular and widely-supported TIFF and Adobe Acrobat PDF formats, along with all other major image, document management systems, text, and database formats.

We also are dealers for Digitech Systems\' professional document management software including PaperFlow, which can be used with most ISIS or TWAIN compatible scanners. Patient record files are picked up from the doctor’s offices or if requested, Scandoc Imaging can arrange for scanning documents on site. The patient’s medical records are scanned either to PDF or TIFF formats. EKG report strips, MRI reports, photographs and anything else that contains a picture or image are mounted on sheets and scanned. The medical record image files are re-named by client-defined criteria.

Scanned document images and scanned medical records that are correctly indexed become an electronic filing cabinet available to our clients via their local server or hosted on our secure web servers. Scandoc Imaging ensures the highest quality of work, and takes pride in being an expert scanning provider when it comes to managing the intensive labor involved in accurately and securely processing large volumes of sensitive documents.

When one considers all of the time spent searching and accessing and not being able to efficiently share information by having all of the office’s documents in paper form, the benefits of going to digital archiving of medical records become obvious. Our clients are looking to easily retrieve and share information with their patients, or, within the organization thereby increasing customer satisfaction and employee productivity.

Consider the statistics: * Most documents are copied 19 times * Approximately 35% of a workers time is wasted searching for documents * Over 10% of all documents get lost or misfiled

Rid your medical practice of unnecessary clutter and wasteful copying. Your employee’s time can be better spent interacting and meeting your patient’s needs.
