Practical in small practices/implementations (thin charts) All documents immediately available in EMR No paper chart Work effort/cost is exponential Effort spent on documents/charts which may never be used Scan Scenario 1 - All
No upfront cost/work effort No effort spent on patients who don’t return No effort spent on documents which aren’t referenced Paper chart still exists for short-mid future No immediate benefit from information at Go-Live being accessible Scan Scenario 2 – Scan from Go Live Forward
Schedule Patients eCharts have immediate accessible documentation Effort minimized to only scan charts of patient who are returning No information readily available for 1st visit unscheduled patients Additional work effort prior to Go-Live in pulling charts Scan Scenario 3 – Schedule Scanning
Every document is in the EMR filed under the paper document title Information more easily referenced No consensus of tabs necessary amongst practices Less build setup time per practice Chart Structure is enterprise wide Takes scan staff more time to file Filing Scenario 1 – Scan All, File all to Document Type
Minimizes work effort Frequently reference documents are easily accessible Documents that aren’t filed to document level can always be filed to document level later Documents that aren’t expected to be referenced aren’t filed to the document title initially Filing Scenario 2 – Scan All, Partial Document Filing
