•Guest Column: 10 Questions For Hospitals, Clinics, And Private Practices To Ask When Considering Document Management Software Solutions

By James Thumma, VP of Sales and Marketing, Optical Image Technology, Inc.

Document management software increasingly plays a critical role, ensuring that medical information is accurate, consistent, secure, and delivered as efficiently as possible. Furthermore, it can serve as either a first step in the implementation of an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system, or it can complement an existing EMR system to make certain that patient records are complete.

Document management software can guarantee that patient records are no longer lost or misplaced while simultaneously eliminating dependence on paper patient files. It can also make patient care and administrative tasks in hospitals, clinics, and private practices more productive and efficient.

A good document management system must have the capability to integrate with and store information from every division of a healthcare facility—not just medical records. It should have the capacity to electronically store employee records, hiring, termination and research records, credentialing and certification information, personnel files, and any other non-clinical applications that help the practice run more efficiently. It should facilitate instant access to both clinical and non-clinical records from any Web browser. A system that is capable of addressing all of these business areas, regardless of whether they are implemented simultaneously or over a number of years, will save you time, resources, money, and headaches.
