Scanners

A device that can read anything that is printed on a piece of paper and convert it into an electronic file. This piece of hardware is extremely important to your practice when you are seeking a paperless office. All of the paper charts must be converted into electronic charts and the only way this can be done is through scanning.

There are several third party scanning companies that will be able to do this for you at a cost. Although there is a cost, these scanning companies are able to scan at least 300 pieces of paper per minute. It is obvious that they can save you hours of time.

Speak to EHR vendors if they have a scanning feature or if they have a company that they usually recommend.

Types of scanners:

  • Larger scanners:
    You feed sheets of paper. This is good for loose sheets of paper; however, they are not able to handle bound documents.
  • Flatbed Scanner:
    Similar to a photocopy machine where you can lay books, magazines and additional documents.
  • Overhead Scanner:
    Look similar to an overhead projector, where you place documents face-up and a small overhead tower moves across the document/page.

    I received recommendations from your site about 8-9 months ago, after answering 160 questions. I actually selected and purchased an EMR software program that your site recommended. I have been completely "live" with it for about 6 weeks and things are going well. It is the perfect program for me.

    After entering my practice parameters into the EMRConsultant.com algorithm I was provided with three choices for an EMR. We had all three provide demonstrations to us and we chose one of those three. What I liked about the program we chose is its versatility and flexibility, which is exactly one of the parameters I put into the algorithm. The EMR vendor has great customer service, and installation and training was almost a breeze. Physician's interested in an EMR without prior knowledge will greatly benefit from their algorithm.

    Your information was very helpful in providing us with a better understanding of the EMR industry, particularly as it relates to ARRA and the HITECH Act. I had no idea there were so many EHR/EMR vendors! We reviewed 10 vendors and selected one of those that you recommended. We are happy with our selection so far. Thank you!

    Working with Dr. Fishman was fantastic. His background as an actual physician EMR user makes his service particularly credible. He has a wealth of experience in health care IT that he generously shares with others. I would highly recommend emrconsultant to any organization looking for an EMR product today.
