Time has always been money; in a digital world, offices that succeed are aware that data is money, too. Healthcare providers hesitant to implement electronic medical records and move into a fully digital environment still face the problems associated with bulky, fragile paper records. Fox Meadows (http://www.foxmeadows.com) , a leading provider of EMR and medical billing software, is pleased to announce a compromise for providers who aren’t ready to go digital; eScan paperless software is a halfway point on the road to full EMR implementation. This powerful tool, compatible with current Fox Meadows software such as Medinotes e and Encounter Manager, enables busy offices to scan patient records, notes, bills, receipts—anything on paper—for quick access and on-screen review. The obvious benefit is ease in recalling crucial patient information on future visits or in billing procedures. The eScan software developed by Fox Meadows is capable of barcoding and indexing all patient records, making it simple to organize any information associated with a patient’s visit. The search function in eScan enables offices to quickly recall any portion of a patient’s history, and eScan comes preloaded with a wealth of tools for document modification: zoom, cut-and-paste, highlight, or add text to any document in the system. A benefit less obvious is that of data security; digital documents can be easily duplicated and securely stored in multiple locations much easier than reams and reams of paper documents can. This enables healthcare providers to avoid a crippling loss of patient records in the wake of an office fire or flood. Offices that have already taken advantage of Medinotes e (the Fox Meadows EMR software) know that it only puts patient charts in digital format. With the addition of eScan software, the entire office can be taken paperless, leading to increased data security and office efficiency. To learn more visit http://www.foxmeadows.com
