Paper • Paper • Good for capture, moving and certain update and usage. • Not good for storage, sharing, moving, accuracy, security. • Before paper • Good for storage • Not good for capture, using, sharing, moving, updating or accuracy
Medical Records • Information on an individual patients medical history and care • Typically each service provider has their own records. • Physical folders as well as the body of information • Needed for treatment, diagnosis, communication, and planning care • Protects the medical needs and legal interests of patient and healthcare providers
Not forgetting • Healthcare organisations also have • Financial records • HR Records • Legal records • Estates • Etc..
The Reality X = (…)
Current Issues • Risk issues • Patient safety • Lost notes • No back-up • Availability & accessibility • Storage • Growing Libraries • Duplication • Costs • Onsite / Offsite • Staff to manage, file, retrieve and move paper • Missed targets
Changing times • Healthcare providers, GP’s, Acute Hospitals, Tertiary, Community, Mental Health etc. • Proliferation of information and clinical systems in the Health landscape • Changes in how and where care is provided • Cost of healthcare • Technology advances • Expectations • Quality

Scanning • Large volume of records • Limited RM policy in place • What to scan • Active / Dormant • On-demand / Target / SLA • Back / forward • Where to scan • Outsource / In-house • How to scan • Indexing • OCR etc.
Get scanning right • The benefit: • Clearly defined strategy and objective • Organisation-wide buy-in • Link to original business case and defined benefits realisation • Ability to manage and report on performance • Understand interdependencies between process, service and procedures • Compliant and legal admissibility • Confidence in process • Clearly defined roles and responsibilities • Scanning Methodology: • Process: Strategic and tactical approach to the paper process from generation to digitisation • Service: resources, targets, SLA’s • Procedures: scanning unit operational procedures
Summary • Better Patient Care Paper has come a long way Providers and patients expect more EDM - a strategic solution Healthcare organisations need to reduce costs Prepare, plan and don’t underestimate
