Medical Scanning

Case Study

The healthcare industry is famous for slow adoption of document imaging and electronic document management systems -- you'd think that they would be natural fits as they generate about 200 pages of paper per bed every day. But adoption is stuck at about 5%. The reason given most often is that physicians want their paper.

HIPAA may accelerate the move as the whole records management and billing systems get looked at more closely and patient record's privacy must be monitored.

Clearly the privacy and security rules will affect anybody who touches a claim or procedure document. For example, any third party service bureau will have to conform, which may mean changing processes. For example if a company is using work-at-home labor to key in claim information they will have to ensure that each operator's home computer is secure - such as against an Internet intrusion which may happen when a member of their family is using the computer. Off shore data entry operations will have to be secured.

P2E solves many of these issues with on-site scanning. Our compliant field experts work directly within the confines of your facility. This greatly reduces security risks and give your company complete control over your records during the scanning and conversion process.

Clearly HIPAA is going to have a major impact, but what it is will only become apparent when implementations start.
