In an effort to improve the quality of health care and reduce costs, US President Barack Obama plans to invest in converting all American’s health records to electronic documents over the next five years. Benefits of this conversion plan include waste reduction, reduced need to repeat costly medical tests, reduced margin for potentially deadly medical errors, elimination of excessive and redundant processes which negatively impact turn-around time and efficiency; and additional billions of dollars in savings.
The proposed electronic health record system will be standardized for all industry institutions. Digital health records will consist of all documentation regarding a patient and their medical history, similar to records currently stored internally on an individual physician’s office computer system and in paper filing. The digital records will create ease when transferring necessary records of one’s medical history between care givers, hospitals, insurance companies, etc. With digital records medical professionals can easily access files, email and transfer records instantaneously.
Backed by years of experience in providing Document and Enterprise Management Solutions for companies in the health care industry, Sitrof Technologies fully comprehends the benefits of a standardized electronic record management system for the health care industry. This industry is comprised of document and information intensive businesses that operate under constant scrutiny from regulatory authorities, thus making the implementation of document and enterprise management solutions a very viable and efficient option. Sitrof believes Obama’s planned investment made toward this effort will be abundantly justified by the copious return, not only monetarily but also with regard to drastically improving efficiency. As observed through Sitrof’s experience with successfully helping companies in the medical industry implement electronic records management systems, we feel, upon completion, the country-wide systemization will encompass a much larger improvement to the entire American health care system not exclusive to only the medical records.
