http://www.optiscan.net Medical Chart Scanning System How To Handle Existing Patient Charts?

The Chart Problem : 

http://www.optiscan.net The Chart Problem Practice has implemented an EMR solution which handles day-forward patient management. Each existing patient has a 50-150 page chart folder filed on a shelf in the practice or off-site.

Choices? : 

http://www.optiscan.net Choices? ChartWorx Bulk Scan - All chart pages scanned and images linked to the EMR system. ChartWorx Selective Bulk Scan – Selected pages scanned and images linked to the EMR system. On-Demand Scan - Charts scanned into EMR system on-demand for a specified period of time. Don’t Scan - Continue to retrieve and handle charts as needed from shelves or off-site.

ChartWorx Bulk Scan Option : 

http://www.optiscan.net ChartWorx Bulk Scan Option Benefits All data digitized Quick Conversion Paper-charts can be shredded, space reclaimed No paper handling after conversion Limited impact on practice staff Drawbacks Extra expense Practice space needed for chart preparation and scan during conversion.

ChartWorx Selective Bulk Scan Option : 

http://www.optiscan.net ChartWorx Selective Bulk Scan Option Benefits Chart size more manageable Number of pages to scan decreases. Paper-charts can be shredded, space reclaimed No paper handling after conversion Limited impact on practice staff Drawbacks Increased cost due to complex preparation Might not scan an important page May increase conversion duration

On-Demand Scan Option : 

http://www.optiscan.net On-Demand Scan Option Benefits Costs spread out over time Can use existing staff Drawbacks Conversion slow and disrupts practice workflow Slows adoption of complete EMR. Risk losing an important chart Practice continues to handle paper Un-scanned charts must be sent to storage.

Don’t Scan Option : 

http://www.optiscan.net Don’t Scan Option Benefits No Scan Costs No Disruption to practice Drawbacks Practice continues to handle paper Space taken up by charts never reclaimed Paper-chart and Electronic charts both active. EMR Adoption slow or fails completely

http://www.optiscan.net So What Option Do You Choose? It Depends, Choose: ChartWorx Bulk/Selective Scan If practice doctors will be practicing for at least 2-3 years To maximize efficiency To minimize paper handling Speed up ROI and Adoption of EMR system. On-Demand Scan If chart count low If legacy information not that critical. Don’t Scan Doctors close to retirement Not implementing EMR ROI is not likely
