Health Care Records Management Beyond EHR
File Retention Requirements Require Secure Records Storage
Even if you have converted to EHR, there can be problems related to file retention that are not adequately addressed with an EHR system. That’s where Paper Alternative and ImageSilo come to the rescue. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) create a need for secure record management for both active and inactive patients. Incorporating a Cloud Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system into your EHR strategy significantly benefits your facility, improving efficiency, increasing control, and saving money. Paper Alternative helps healthcare providers:
- Enhance efficiency by utilizing ECM systems to manage all medical, business and personnel records.
- Securely control records, while maintaining regulatory compliance.
- Save money by reducing space, personnel, and time currently devoted to paper records management.
- Reduce data-entry requirements when converting records to a new EMR system
Manage all Records with ImageSilo® to Enhance Efficiency
Your EHR may not be enough. Just because a healthcare provider has an EHR system, doesn’t mean they don’t need ECM . Integrating ImageSilo® helps you transition from partial electronic document and information management to a fully efficient automated system. As well as managing medical records, you can maintain accounting, insurance, purchasing, and any other archive electronically.
