OmniMD™ Delivers Integrated Document Solutions for Today's Healthcare Organizations
Many healthcare organizations are exploring
electronic document management and imaging solutions to
achieve a paperless office. However, the transition requires
significant planning and one stop vendor to provide a
complete document management solution. The costs of managing paper documents are enormous. For example, a filing cabinet with file folder and in-drawer hardware costs about $700. In addition, an annual cost of $20 per square foot for floor space, makes the cost for a file cabinet to be more than $800 for the first year. Labor costs for the time spent on filing, re-filing and retrieving documents can also add up. According to an industry estimates, Paper records cost approximately $8.00 per record per year to maintain, while electronic records can be maintained for $2.00 to $3.00 per year. In the words of President and CEO Divan Dave, a properly implemented electronic document management system can save significant amounts of time and money.
