PRINT AND DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT FOR HEALTHCARE

Secure critical patient records, print around the clock, and future-proof your processes – all while cutting costs and waste

Medical Records managers are not only responsible for collecting and retaining every document created for a patient but also under significant pressure to reduce costs associated with records retention, storage, workflow and preservation.

Medical staff need to be able to quickly access accurate patient medical records. After all, medical records are the lifeline of every patient.

From Documents to Value

DocuWare enables any size organisation – in any industry – to transform documents into valuable capital.

Regardless of format or source DocuWare automates business processes and workflows by electronically managing and sharing documents.

Documents can be scanned, indexed, filed, displayed, edited, printed, faxed and e-mailed. With the help of the Internet, this central archive can be accessed from around the world, around the clock, by only the people you designate.

How Document Management can help in Healthcare Organisations

Some challenges faced in Healthcare are the cumbersome nature of patient charts and the demanding document workflow. The lack of integration between Healthcare Information Management (HIM) systems and the paper record also creates delays and bottlenecks in the information flow. These challenges equate to higher costs at the point of care.

As medical facilities move their patient records from paper based to electronic format, it's critical to invest in an efficient, secure and proven system such as Docuware. By electronically managing documents such as facility contracts, equipment leasing and testing documents, business practices can be effortlessly and efficiently administered – adding to the bottom line by reducing operations costs.

It's easier than you think. DocuWare is the bridge from current paper-based filing systems to Electronic Content Management (ECM) and the business operations of the hospital. .

Medical Records

Medical records are made up of different pieces of information which are generated from many sources like paper documents, lab results, X-ray and video, and the Healthcare system.

Paper forms are still an important part of the patient visit. Information Sheets, Release of Medical Records forms, Receipt of Privacy Policy and many other documents are filled out by the patient.

By utilising patient demographics from the Healthcare system, forms are easily scanned and automatically stored in the electronic file cabinet. By synchronising the metadata, documents are cross referenced to related documents in the cabinet. Stored documents are available for immediate access. They are easily identified by an account number, document type and date, which allow doctors and nurses to quickly and accurately find the most current information at the point of patient care.

Integration tools are provided that image enable the current Healthcare system so that medical staff are able to access records directly from the user interface they are familiar with.

Through user-friendly integrations, the current business procedures and workflows in the facility can stay in place, which reduces training time and increases employee acceptance of electronic images.

Hospitals have contracts for property, services and equipment that are currently tracked on paper. With a document management system in place, contract expiration dates can be easily monitored. With a pre-set date that you choose, the expiring contract can be e-mailed to the responsible personnel in plenty of time to negotiate its renewal.
