Xerox and Select Data to Provide a Complete Electronic Chart

A hybrid approach of the system now incorporates Xerox (Norwalk, CT, USA) document management to provide complex searches and fast document retrieval for all clinical and patient information, providing a central repository for patient documents that are scanned in from multiple sources.

The combined approach to the capturing of electronic medical record (EMR) information gives healthcare agencies new choices when documenting patient records, offering the ability to give surveyors and others access to patients' charts without being experts in multiple EMR systems. Users can capture, manage, share, and protect a wide range of paper and digital content into one secure, central, and highly scalable repository using an intuitive, easy user interface that is easy-to-deploy, requires little to no technical support, and works with all common hardware and software.

Benefits of the system include simple single word and advanced searches, wizard-based document routing and approval tool, collaboration with wikis and blogs, threaded discussions, email notification, and content submission via email. The system supports image capture using scan cover sheets for scanning to collections and documents, and maintains tight security via permissions-based access control, password management, password rules enforcement, and Secure Sockets Layer‏ (SSL) encryption.

"We are not just creating a document imaging system for users to scan in paper documents; we are taking information captured in the EMR and converting that to a user friendly document that can be read side by side with all documentation," said Jeff Brittain, chief technological officer (CTO) of Select Data. "This saves users from having to navigate two systems."
