Scanning Services

Medical record scanning refers to the digitization of paper medical records and files. With digital medical records, it's possible to quickly access patient records and share pertinent patient information with other facilities and medical professionals. Keeping electronic medical records typically offers many benefits over traditional paper records.

The medical records scanning process is relatively straightforward. First, documents that need to be scanned are prepared and placed into labeled boxes to be transported. The medical records are then securely transported to a conversion facility to begin the scanning process. Next, the documents are scanned and converted into a digital format, and then converted to preferred formats and stored on an (electronic health record) EHR system or other document management system. The physical records are either returned to the medical facility or stored in an offsite storage unit until the retention period is over.
