Best Practices In The ER And Beyond

By Laserfiche

For Iredell Memorial Hospital, lost records meant enormous losses in revenues. But keeping critical information available to those professionals who need it is also a tremendous challenge at the facility, which delivers outstanding, cutting-edge care. With 135 physicians on staff, several specialized treatment centers and nearly 5000 emergency room visits per month, Iredell staff found their workflow and productivity hampered by their records system, which involved assembling, distributing, storing, and retrieving volumes of paper.

The effort of managing paper meant the hospital wasn't making effective use of its 1700-member staff. Using Laserfiche®, Iredell succeeded not only in cutting revenue loss in the ER and improving its patient record management, but it also greatly improved the efficiency of its own staff and the physicians the hospital works with.
