The importance of medical records
  • For any medical examination and possible
    procedure it is absolutely necessary or a
    physician to understand the medical history of
    the patient. Any treatment needs to be
    administered in accordance with the patients
    system, allergies, past ailments and every other
    factor that can possibly affect the course of the
    treatment. Medical records play a pivotal role in
    providing all the necessary information
    pertaining to the patient.

Growing need of record management systems
  • The ever-increasing number of patients leads
    directly to the exponential increase in the
    number of medical records that need to be
    maintained. Hard copies are necessary but
    maintaining them over a period of years is not
    only time consuming but also a tedious task.
  • With the digital era upon us it is easier for us
    to convert the medical records to their digital
    versions. This is achieved via medical record
    scanning and then creating a database for all the
    records.

Medical record Scanning The Process
  • All of the records are usually transferred to a
    trusted professional organization that works in
    the record maintenance and restoration industry.
    Since the hospital staff cannot be diverged from
    their regular work thus the professionals are
    hired to produce the digital versions of the
    records at hand via medical record scanning and
    sorting.
  • All the records are sorted and put in the correct
    order before they are scanned. This makes fining
    a particular file easier. Further indexing of
    files is done on basis of ailments, last
    procedures, allergies, and every other category
    as requested by the hospital.

Smooth sailing After Scanning
  • All the files are put back to the way they were
    and the digital versions are stored in a
    database. The database facilitates easy access
    and quick recovery of any needed document without
    having to go through a pile of medical records.
  • This also allows for a network access to the
    records anywhere and anytime since the user
    simply needs to connect to the database thus
    saving precious time and energy.
