Scan Scenarios
All
- Practical in small practices/implementations (thin charts)
- All documents immediately available in EMR
- No paper chart
- Work effort/cost is exponential
- Effort spent on documents/charts which may never be used
Scan from Go Live Forward
- No upfront cost/work effort
- No effort spent on patients who don’t return
- No effort spent on documents which aren’t referenced
- Paper chart still exists for short-mid future
- No immediate benefit from information at Go-Live being accessible
Schedule Scanning
- Schedule Patients eCharts have immediate accessible documentation
- Effort minimized to only scan charts of patient who are returning
- No information readily available for 1st visit unscheduled patients
- Additional work effort prior to Go-Live in pulling charts
Filing Scenarios
Scan All, File all to Document Type
- Every document is in the EMR filed under the paper document title
- Information more easily referenced
- No consensus of tabs necessary amongst practices
- Less build setup time per practice
- Chart Structure is enterprise wide
- Takes scan staff more time to file
Scan All, Partial Document Filing
- Minimizes work effort
- Frequently reference documents are easily accessible
- Documents that aren’t filed to document level can always be filed to document level later
- Documents that aren’t expected to be referenced aren’t filed to the document title initially
How Bar Coding Can Help
Future Documents
- Filing to document type is automatic based on bar code
- Master forms and master documents can include bar code
- Consideration – bar codes need to be implemented on forms
Existing Documents
- Practices can choose what documents they bar code
- Document type filing is automatic to the scan process for documents that are stickered
- Frequently referenced documents are immediately available upon Go-Live
- Cost and effort to sticker existing documents
- Documents that practice choose not to bar code will have to be filed manually
