Medical Records Classification

Maybe you're using document management today or you’re starting to consider it. If you’ve already made the move to scanning your documents, you don't want your medical records department to become your "scanning" department. Instead, you want your medical records department to be where information is safely stored, yet quickly retrievable. And inside each patient’s electronic medical record, you want to find complete information documenting the entire patient encounter – from the moment a patient enters the hospital until payment for services is rendered.

The single largest cost component to an effective document management system is the labor associated with preparing, scanning and indexing documents into the system. Often, the time to prepare documents for scanning along with the time to accurately index them is severely underestimated, turning medical records departments in to labor-intensive scanning centers.

KeyMark offers solutions providing a high degree of automation to document scanning. Automating the identification of documents by type and dynamically extracting key index information (such as medical record and account number) limits the needs and staffing impact associated with manual preparation and indexing. This allows medical records staff members to focus on key workflow tasks such as coding, analysis and ROI, rather than the sorting, prepping and manual entry associated with scan ingestion.
