EHR MIGRATION:

We know that the majority of practices will decide to convert to electronic health records in the near future, by 2014, to avoid HITECH Act* penalties. No matter where you are along the EHR transition, even if you have already scanned and digitized your records in house, are they compatible with your EHR platform? If not, DISW has the capability to reformat digital images to ensure compatibility with your selected EHR platform.

Our process of imaging for electronic document storage:

  • Integrates effectively with most electronic medical records system
  • Indexes information according to practice specific EHR naming conventions
  • Offers increased quality of care through improved efficiencies
  • State of the art imaging for lab results, x-ray, ultrasound, diagnostic reports
  • Reduced payroll costs and workers comp claims
  • Multiple search fields available
  • Export and import information
  • Secure, HIPAA compliant document shredding
  • Fully Licensed and Insured
  • BEWARE: All scanning solutions are not created equal! A scanned chart that is not indexed does not produce searchable records. Most consumer market scanners produce poor quality scans of diagnostic images, if an image is even captured; and don’t forget it is not just running pages through a scanner – inventory of charts, tracking orphans, removing staples, fixing dog ears, and quality checking each scan to verify it is clear is essential to maintaining an accurate patient record. For these reasons, picking up a couple of high end scanners at the local electronics store could cost you thousands of dollars in lost documents, poor document capture, and EHR migration time.
