Active Charts - Laborious Task

We have started prepping and scanning Active charts (OBGYN patients whose charts are active with visits). In order to integrate the scanned files in to EMR system, as briefed before in the blog; we are scanning a single patient record in to three files, Clinical Notes, Labs & Imaging and Miscellaneous. When you click on a folder of a patient you will be seeing three files with the above mention naming convention. As per the implementation plan, all the three files will be separately shown under respective titles when you open a patient account on EMR template. 

To show how laborious the scanning process is when it comes to EMR compatibilities, the following is an example:

For prepping and scanning a patient record for EMR compatibility, our efficient team is taking 7 minutes in total to get it done. When compared to Old record scanning which are not meant to be on EMR network, its a whole +3min extra time.

In other words, as the detail of indexing increases, so does the time. It is essential for the physicians and the clinic staff to come up with logical solution about details of indexing. As the indexing details increase, the time and costs associated are meant to raise.
