To improve the quality of care, reduce costs and enhance staff productivity, electronic medical record (EMR) systems are being implemented in healthcare facilities across the nation. Used to its fullest potential, an EMR system actually produces a better patient "paper trail" than paper itself. Waiting on a laborious centralised scanning process to make critical documents available is a costly proposition. Centralised scanning processes take 24 to 72 hours before the new files are available to clinical staff - a delay that can be critical, especially to the ER, where patients are usually admitted and released the same day.
Lexmark has the cure.
Intelligent Lexmark multifunction devices located at nursing stations and other key sites can make critical information on paper documents available within minutes, not days - the first step towards a paperless hospital. And leveraging Lexmark's ability to read form barcodes and prompt for patient data at the MFP ensures that the documents are processed directly into the EMR system, without additional human intervention. Physicians can view patient charts online in real time and make treatment decisions without visiting the hospital, while billing and insurance claims can begin immediately, shortening revenue cycles and cutting costs. Lexmark can work with your HIS provider to ensure a seamless integration with your EMR.
Lexmark has experience in developing and implementing cost effective, easy to implement healthcare solutions that focus on your business issues and patient safety issues.
