It’s just scanning, right? Did you know that even after implementing an electronic health record system, EDCO estimates that 15 to 20% of the chart will remain in paper form? Residual paper from external sources and printed paper throughout the hospital create the need to run dual processes, often increasing discharged not final billed (DNFB), and inefficiency for the HIM department.
