Purging
CRS can provide experienced and trained staff to design a purging process to meet your needs. Utilizing your information systems, we can often increase efficiency and lower costs by generating purge and record location lists. To avoid disruption to your department's daily operations, projects can be performed on weekends and evening shifts. In doing so, the work is completed at a much quicker pace than utilizing your own staff or volunteers.
File Conversions and Projects
With the advent of the EHR dominating the HIM environment, attention has been brought to cleaning up current paper-based systems. Many facilities are consolidating file areas and eliminating hard copy storage rooms, while getting less and less resources to manage their paper-based systems. CRS can manage and design projects of any size and magnitude. Our 25 years of experience successfully performing over 1,000 such projects has given us firsthand knowledge and unparalleled insight into almost any file conversion project. Whether you need backlog filing, barcode conversions, file room relocation, or storage consolidation, CRS can be a valuable business associate for you.
Microfilming
CRS offers a full range of microfilming services and formats, with facilities open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If you utilize microfilm for archival purposes, our vast experience and knowledge of microfilming processes along with an intimate understanding of HIM departments can be a tremendous benefit to your organization. We have been a leader in HIM microfilming since our conception and we will continue to support this traditional archival process for years to come.
Off-site Storage
The off-site storage facilities of CRS are equipped with the latest technology and supervised at all times. Our "never close" policy, in conjunction with our microfilm services, allows access to your valuable documents at all times. All charts are logged into our inventory system and assigned a retention/location code. Boxes are barcoded and scanned which enables the effective tracking of retrievals and returns. A detailed computer-generated inventory of all records in storage can become a valuable tool for your facility. Requested records can be scanned and made available via the Web or modem, therefore paper records never leave our storage facility.
