Many healthcare providers are realising the benefits of a move away from paper medical records because of the improved access and search capabilities that digital records provide. However, practitioners are often resistant to the change, as it can be significantly more cumbersome to 'leaf through' a large scanned file compared to the paper originals.
Focal Point's automatic categorisation software can help significantly with this dilemma. By assigning a category (admissions record, consent form, test results etc.) to each document within the file along with other data such as document date, it becomes significantly easier for a practitioner to locate relevant information.
