Convert Paper Charts to Digital Charts - starts from 8 cents per page

How many times you or your staff pull out patient charts during a day? Do you know how long does it take each time you look for a patient chart? It is estimated that on average it will take 5 minutes to retrieve and file a chart.

What if you could do this in one minute! Well, it is possible and many healthcare organizations are just doing that. You may know about digital charts. When you convert your patient paper charts to digital charts, then you could access them from anywhere in seconds. You won't be looking for charts again, and you will not loose important information about your patients.

Let's say, you retrieve and file 20 charts a day. Then you are spending 100 minutes per day. That is 433 hours per year. If you pay $15 per hour to your staff, then your cost is $6495 per year. With digital charts you could save 4 minutes per chart, and your saving is $5196.

By investing $1800 per year, you could save $5196 per year!

You could save a copy of digital charts at remote site for in case of disaster and keep a copy in your office for easy access. You could access the digital chart from your home or when you are outside your office - anytime, anywhere. How much time do you think you could save with this setup?

Converting paper charts will also put you a step ahead when you are ready to use Electronic Health Records (EHR). Once you have implemented your EHR, you could go ahead and link your digital charts to patient records and access them from within EHR.
