CRS has developed its own powerful scanning software, utilizes the most efficient hardware, and deploys experienced staff. This enables us to perform the scanning process and related tasks at an unparalleled level of efficiency. End users therefore benefit from the highest level of accuracy and the most efficient completion of any scanning task. CRS specializes in on-site services so that your records will never leave your facility. Our concept also allows you the comfort of scanning newly created documentation therefore giving you an "electronic file room of active charts." Utilizing imaging in this manner allows all the benefits of an electronic record and eventually leads to the elimination of the hybrid environment. In addition, scanning charts that become active again will allow the development of a true electronic unit record. This goal can only be achieved if charts are converted on-site at a client's facility. If you implement an electronic file room, you will no longer face the costs associated with microfilming, off-site storage, folder purchases, paper chart creation, sorting, filing, retrieving, etc. In addition, all your record-related tasks such as coding, physician signature, release of information, etc. - can now be performed with all of the benefits that an electronic record offers. When all active records are scanned and indexed in advance of the EHR deployment, there are impressive benefits that are derived from the instant and multiple-simultaneous access to these valuable clinical documents for both clinicians and administrative staff. An equally important payoff, however, comes when an EHR is installed. Since the TIFF images can be easily uploaded to the EHR, the system will now incorporate all the clinical information for active patients. This eliminates the need for a hybrid system, enabling electronic access to the entire unit record and maximizing acceptance by clinicians. Achieving the electronic file room also supports the various governmental agency efforts to initiate the standardization of electronic documents.
