The basis for all e-business is the paperless office. The conversion of paper and electronic documents to digitized data files is the first step in moving towards that ideal. Document & Content Management has moved to the fore-front of the enterprise’s purchasing priorities. The reason is simple – productivity.

The new document affects all aspects of the way an organization performs, regardless of the goal facing the enterprise.

Productivity increases profit, increases customer satisfaction and reduces the budget requirements. Many studies are available that demonstrate the benefits of implementing an integrated document management solution (25%-40% productivity gain). In addition, several recent trends in new government regulations and business requirements have created the imperative to develop and implement an integrated document management environment.

Yesterday, document management was only viewed as digitizing paper. Today, the new successful document management environment must include all of the following:

• Imaging – electronic view and process
• Web Content Management
• Content Management
• Electronic Mail (E-Mail)
• Records Management
• Workflow
• Collaboration
• Online Forms, Inquiries, Self Service and Processing
• Media and Publishing

>> Challenge – Find the right product solution, integrate it into the enterprise’s business process, manage and maintain it. Your choice of the right solution can be a difficult, time consuming and overwhelming task.

>> Solution – Let the experts at Edmond Scientific work with you to tame the challenge. Our services and solutions are engineered based on your unique industry needs. We will move the opportunity for cost reduction and process improvement into a realized success story.

>> Capability – We do not represent a specific product or vendor. Rather we recommend and implement the “best of breed” product and solution based on your needs and “best practices” for your industry. We have a proven discipline, methodology, specific product knowledge, industry subject matter understanding and experience to tackle the challenge for and with you.

Healthcare Solutions

The healthcare industry consumes a great deal of paper regardless of the clinical, operational or financial aspects of the industry. Studies claim that 25% of the cost of healthcare can directly be attributed to paper, its completion, storage, tracking and movement all in multiple copies. Systems have been deployed to automate patient billing, administration and scheduling. In addition clinical information systems have automated results and procedures. However, the need for paper grows. The value of imaging solutions in the healthcare industry for such practices as radiology has grown. Even some patient records have been image enabled. However, the vast sea of documents is still in native paper form and adding to the cost to provide quality driven health care. Even many sound technology systems generate paper forms, results and reports.

The answer appears to be in document, content management and workflow. Do a search for healthcare document management and you will “get hits” on thousands of solutions. All HIPAA compliant and all providing information on technical aspects, features, scanners, viewers, databases, repositories, interfaces etc. You will also notice that the major document and content providers do not show up on the hit list. You feel instantly overwhelmed and confused. A “try it you will like it - free 30 day trial - download today”, is not going to solve your business problem. You simply want to provide quality healthcare services, reduce costs and reduce risks.
