Professional Document Scanning
Medical offices are the first business that comes to mind when thinking about converting to electronic documents. Doctors have a lot of paperwork to manage. Patients need to be checked in which requires a lot of paper documents. Then, every time a patient is seen, his or her chart needs to be updated, starting with vitals, which means more paper. Following a chart like this can be extremely difficult for the doctor. Imagine if a doctor committed an error simply because the hard copy chart had something wrong, your doctor had looked at the wrong page, or an assistant pulled the wrong chart completely! Document scanning can make this a thing of the past.
The great thing about electronic document management is that everyone has access to their digital files. Since more than one computer can access it, a person does not have to wait for someone to finish with the report or make a costly copy to be productive. In the medical office this means when paper documents are imaged, a doctor can examine the patient with them at the same time the office worker makes sure everything is filled out correctly. And since there is no more need to file the paper document, that office has more room for things like medicinal and material storage, examination rooms, and even room for another doctor in the office. All of this and so much more is possible with simple electronic document management that we refer to as document scanning services. Think about changing the way you do business today.
Document Scanning Benefits for Businesses
Document scanning ensures businesses remain HIPAA compliant, as scanned files ensure your customers’ confidential information is backed-up and safe from becoming lost or stolen. Paper records are more challenging to manage and can be misplaced, while document scanning software provides an easy, digitized means of record-keeping that increases the security of your documents.
Document scanning frees up time for your employees, allowing them to attend to productive business duties, rather than spending countless hours searching for documents. When documents are scanned, these electronic files can be obtained immediately and if required, shared or distributed both internally and externally. Document scanning offers a convenient solution for viewing, printing, and organizing.
Simply filing old documents away when no longer needed does not necessarily provide your company and customers with the security needed. Filing paper in-house often leads to disorganization, which can lead to major problems for businesses. Papers that should be secure but instead land in the trash are open to public access. Data within incorrectly stored files is at risk. This data could be misplaced, lost due to physical damage (fire, flood), or missed due to fraudulent activity. Any of these scenarios spell trouble for your business. Document scanning and storage provide cost-efficient, reliable security, and easy access.
Often, customers need to retrieve their records on short notice; document scanning allows us to retrieve any file for you in a matter of seconds! No more waiting for someone to go to the file room and sort through mounds of documents and files. Document scanning provides businesses instant access to the data they require for increased productivity and customer service. It’s truly a win-win situation for both your company and your customers.

Security & Disaster Recovery
Simply filing old documents away when no longer needed, does not provide your company and customers with the security needed.

Papers that should be secure but instead land in the trash are open for public accessibility. Document scanning will supply reliable security and tracking capabilities designed for easy monitoring of information. Most importantly, if a natural disaster occurs, documents previously scanned are protected from the possibility of data loss.

Document scanning services assist businesses in remaining HIPAA compliant, as scanned files ensure your customers’ confidential information is backed-up, and safe from becoming lost or stolen.
