Optimizing Healthcare Efficiency with Medical Data Abstraction

Medical record retention poses an ongoing challenge for healthcare providers, often leading to significant costs and space constraints. As regulatory requirements surrounding medical retention schedules continue to evolve and expand, the physical storage of paper records becomes increasingly cumbersome and costly. This situation can result in the dedication of valuable office space to housing medical records, limiting the area available for patient care and administrative activities.

Record Nations recognizes this dilemma and offers a practical solution with our medical data abstraction services. By converting paper-based medical records into digital formats, we not only help you comply with evolving regulations but also significantly reduce the physical storage space needed for record retention. Our offsite facilities provide secure and organized storage for these digital records, freeing up your valuable office space for more productive and patient-focused purposes. This approach not only streamlines record management but also offers long-term cost savings and operational efficiencies for healthcare practices of all sizes.

Why Medical Data Abstraction is Important

The use of data abstraction services as a method of medical records management will provide the practice with the ability to have the medical information for frequent patients or future appointments in their Electronic Health Records System (EHR).

Medical data abstraction services provide you with a solution that encompasses partial/full record scanning along with populating your most important data into your new EHR.

Clinical abstractions can provide you with the comfort of entering the patient information you determine is best suited for your patient population. By entering this information from the original paper or digital source via a clinical data abstraction template and EHR. This allows for the information to be used as it was designed and intended, as a form of medical records storage and your medical records backup.
