Electronic Medical Records Conversion LIM answers medical providers’ question: “What do we do with our existing paper charts”? DISCRETE SELECTION OF INFORMATIONWith the current emphasis on adoption of electronic health records, and the potential for reimbursement of a portion of the costs, medical providers must ensure that the information contained in their paper charts translates in structure and function to support the full adoption of their electronic health record system. By capturing key demographic and discrete health information from existing charts, health care providers can quickly achieve some meaningful use criteria and more fully leverage their electronic health records system.
Scanning charts alone is not the answer. An electronic image of a record in a computer file is no more or less accessible than a paper chart on the shelf. Only by capturing key data from each record, in a consistent, uniform method, are the benefits realized which allow doctors to become meaningful users of EHR technology, reduce operating costs, and ultimately achieve better health outcomes for patients.
