Document Solutions Document Management for the Healthcare Industry –What You Need to Know . William ZastrowPresident, CEOFileMark Corporation June 22, 2005
Startling Facts • 90% of all business information exists on paper or eMail • Paper use in business is growing at 22% per year • The average paper document gets copied 19 times, 45% of all files are now duplicates • 90% of all documents are never referred to after the initial transaction • 7.5% of all documents get lost, 3% of the remainder get misfiled • Companies spend $20 in labor to file a document, $120 to find a misfiled document, and $220 to reproduce a lost document Elimination of inefficient paper processes allows more work to be done faster, with fewer people, and less cost Source: Coopers & Lybrand
The Challenge • Transition from paper to electronic documents, signatures, processes, distribution and storage • Get easy, instant access to documents from anywhere, from any type of application • Reduce paper, filing and copying costs • Streamline and accelerate document-centric business processes • Fulfill legal and regulatory compliance mandates • Realize a quick Return On Investment (ROI)
Healthcare Document Issues • Managing paper-based medical records – storage and retrieval • Dealing with manual registration and admission forms • Physician completion, managing deficiencies and notifications • Need for efficient document distribution, secure access to patient information and ease of finding patient charts • Managing documents from HIS and clinical systems – integration • General forms and report management – HR and Business Office • HIPAA compliance

DM Mistakes to Avoid • Single-purpose DM applications and add-ons • Multiple databases or repositories • Named user licenses • Storage management software pricing by volume • Capture subsystem software pricing by volume • Expensive, complex workflow • Complex application integration methodologies • Proprietary scan, store, view, print, fax or eMail • Bolt on records management functionality • Reseller pricing mark-ups and product support

All you Need Is One • One logical repository and storage subsystem • One database • One administration system • One set of APIs for application integration • One logical client with one standard universal viewer • One vendor • One system to learn, use, configure, maintain, backup, integrate, secure and buy
What About Document Storage? • Just a Bunch Of Disks – JBOD • Direct Attached Storage arrays – DAS • Network Attached Storage arrays – NAS • Storage Area Networks – SAN • Optical Jukebox – WORM or MO • CD/RW • Content Addressed Storage – CAS • Magnetic Tape
Why Workflow Often Doesn’t Work • The concept of traditional rules-based workflow is fundamentally flawed • Too complex to build and inflexible in use • Too expensive and time consuming to deploy, maintain, change and/or grow • Most workflow deployments try to do too much
Paperless Workflow • Paperless work routing – physician completion, deficiencies, action requests, management approvals, transaction and case processing • Easy configuration – automates existing business processes, no rules, users still make most decisions, no BPR • Out-of-box deployment can resolve over 70% of process inefficiencies – prioritize your problems • Rapid implementation = quick ROI = success • Knowledge worker empowerment, not rigid rules enforcement • Works like instant messaging for documents with abuddy list!
