Scanning and EHR Implementation for Private Practices and Clinics

Transitioning to an Electronic Health Record System for your private practice or clinic has many benefits. EHRs can improve patient care, streamline processes, quickly diagnose patients, and share information with patients and other clinics seamlessly.

Enabling this digitization process for private practices and clinics is medical records scanning. A scanning service can shift hundreds of documents, records, and patient charts into a secure, accessible, and flexible document management system. 

From patient records to medical billing, Record Nations will connect you with a local provider that has expertise in medical record scanningEMRs, and more.  Let us help you answer the critical questions that can make the transition to a paperless office painless.

What Patient Information is Critical for My Digital Files?

Here are some of the most important items to include in every EHR:

  • Key patient demographic data
  • Problem list
  • Historical procedures
  • Allergies
  • Medical device or implant information, including manufacturer, date, and serial number
  • Current medications
  • Referral sources and follow-up
  • Immunizations
  • Growth charts for pediatric patients
  • Legal documents such as advanced directives and custodial agreements
