No Document Left Behind

Patient data is growing at a staggering rate. What used to be housed in a few over-sized file folders now comprises a vast collection of forms, histories, images, and treatment records that must be kept private and available for longer periods of time. Factor in the push for electronic medical record (EMR) systems, and you have a major challenge on your hands. You need a document-management system that incorporates all of a patient's data into a single, secure record that is easily accessible across multiple systems and platforms.

HealthConnection can provide all the tools, expertise, and service you need to ensure no document is left behind. The easiest place to start addressing document management is at the paper level. We will work with you to identify and implement solutions that capture patient data more quickly than paper forms, put critical information in the hands of clinicians when and where they need it, and improve operational efficiency and quality of care.

Once you have a working system in place for creating electronic records, you will be faced with your next challenge: how to store these files while remaining compliant with the Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA) and other government privacy and accessibility mandates. The solution: information lifecycle management (ILM) using your existing equipment or new higher-capacity storage devices.

ILM enables you to make the most efficient use of your storage resources. As files age, they can be automatically migrated away from first-tier storage (disk-based) to second-tier devices, like tape drives and libraries. For records that require constant accessibility, larger online disk arrays and storage-specific network engineering will be required.

Now is the time to improve document management within your organization. HealthConnection is ready to help—we're only a phone call away.
