Challenges

All healthcare facilities are required to maintain patient medical records, and other health information for medical purposes, for five years from the date of last treatment. The health record is a legal document that should accurately outline the total needs, care, and management of patients. It facilitates communication and decision making evaluation of care in addition to protecting the legal interests of the patient, healthcare professionals, and the health facility. The supporting operations that enable the provision of these services are equally important. They necessitate the same level of document and processing accountability and proficiency.

• Address their Medical Equipment approval processes which were long, complex, manual and tedious. Originating from multiple locations and branches physical documents were transported between locations and branches and then routed to the head office for approval.
• As part of the Approval process, they needed to resolve the ability of staff to approve business processes while out of office or traveling.
• Scan, upload, and store automatically all types of documents, especially Patient Records.
• Facilitate data extraction and information exchange between the new ECM system, their
• existing in-house Patient Records Management and Hospital Information Systems.
• Re-task the Six members of staff dedicated to manually scanning and uploading consent forms.
• Support the automatic import of at least 1000 documents per day and the corresponding number of workflow processes.
