BURLINGTON, Mass.--Nuance Communications, Inc., today announced the eCopy Healthcare Solution Pack, which reduces the cost and overhead of scanning medical documents. The new solution enables healthcare organizations to improve the quality of care with faster access to patient information, and strengthen patient record security and HIPAA compliance frameworks.
“The Healthcare industry is very paper intensive and will remain so for many years to come”
Designed to help healthcare professionals cost-effectively transition to electronic medical records, the eCopy Healthcare Solution Pack leverages Nuance’s eCopy ShareScan Suite, the world’s best-selling document scanning and workflow solution for networked multifunction printers (MFPs). eCopy ShareScan provides healthcare organizations with everything needed to automate paper-to-digital workflows from MFPs, letting healthcare workers scan paper documents easily and securely using existing investments in network MFPs and scanners.
To enable healthcare providers to immediately reap the benefits from their investment in MFPs, the eCopy Healthcare Solution Pack includes:
Scan Outside Patient Records: Real-time conversion of “loose” paper documents (e.g. consult notes, test results, discharge summaries) to searchable PDFs that can be quickly accessed online in secure electronic patient records.
Scan Historical Charts: Batch conversion of historical paper charts to electronic records using barcode cover sheet technology to auto-index, name and route documents to secure electronic patient folders.
Scan Admissions Patient History Forms: Extract patient history data from an optical mark patient admissions form into a format that can be imported into a providers Electronic Health Record (EHR) system.
Document Workflow Assessment: A customized report that identifies specific areas where the healthcare organization can further optimize their document processes.
“The Healthcare industry is very paper intensive and will remain so for many years to come,” said Randy Dazo, Senior Director at InfoTrends, “Where we see paper as part of a patient care workflow within healthcare, not only do we see inefficiencies with current practices but also we see security and compliance vulnerabilities that could cost healthcare organizations millions of dollars. The workflow solutions that Nuance brings to healthcare organizations fill-in many of the paper based workflow gaps we have seen with even the most sophisticated EMR/EHR implementations, and their approach recognizes that the solution to the problem requires healthcare providers and MFP solutions providers alike to adopt a continuous improvement approach to automate workflows as they’re identified and as customer schedules permit.”

The SRP of the eCopy Healthcare Solution Pack is $1,600 per eCopy ShareScan server supporting any number of MFPs licensed with eCopy ShareScan Suite v5. For additional information please visit www.eCopy.com or call +1-800-443-7077.
