Hospital & Healthcare Medical Record Scanning
Scanning and Document Management at Scale for Hospitals and Healthcare Organizations
Although private practices have their fair share of patient files and information that they need to track, store, and share, hospitals are in a different bracket of complexity and scale. With hundreds of beds and thousands of patients, each with entirely different concerns, diagnoses and treatments, it’s vital to have a system capable of keeping track of everything accurately and efficiently.
Medical records scanning works the same way for hospitals and private practices, you take paper files and convert them to digital format. The biggest difference is volume and the urgency required for patients.
Hospitals need access to critical patient information to ensure that they take the proper actions in case of emergencies, and to ensure consistent, ever-improving patient care.
Many healthcare networks have integrated electronic medical records to help handle the sheer volume of paperwork that administrative staff, nurses, doctors, and even patients have to manage.

Scanning Medical Records
How Healthcare Records Scanning Works
1. Prepare your documents to be scanned by placing documents and files into labeled boxes to be transported for scanning.
2. Contact Record Nations at (866) 385-3706 or fill out the form to receive free quotes from providers in your area. Choose the provider that best fits your needs and budget.
3. The scanner takes the records and transports them securely to a facility to begin the conversion process. However, if you need to conduct the process on-site, they instead take their scanners to your location.
4. Experts then scan and convert your documents to a digital format, ensuring accuracy every step of the way.
5. Records are converted into desired formats and stored on an electronic health record system or document management system of your choosing.
6. Physical files are either returned to the hospital, office, or clinic or sent to an offsite storage unit until the retention period expires.
Benefits of Medical Records Scanning from Record Nations
Record Nations scanning services provide accuracy and quality
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology is crucial for converting scanned documents into searchable and editable text. Ensure that the scanning service employs advanced OCR technology to maintain the accuracy of medical records during the digitization process.
Quality
The quality of scanned images is vital for maintaining the integrity of medical documents. High-resolution scanning helps preserve the details of charts, records, and images. It’s important to inquire about the scanning equipment and processes used to ensure that the resulting digital files are clear and legible.
HIPAA Compliant Security
Ensure that the medical document scanning service provider complies with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations. HIPAA sets standards for the security and privacy of protected health information (PHI). The scanning service should have robust security measures in place to protect sensitive patient data throughout the scanning process.
