Floor space in a hospital is precious and nearly always a limited resource. EDCO’s backfile scanning solutions enable HIM departments to free up space on the shelf, or to eliminate the file room completely. As facilities transition to electronic health record systems, the value of file room elimination becomes even more evident as the volume of paper decreases.
