Hospital Improves Scheduling Workflow with Image Indexing
Prior to transitioning to a paperless workflow with Biscom’s FAXCOM Image Indexing solution, the Central Scheduling Office of North Shore Medical Center in Salem, MA received scheduling requests to traditional paper fax machines. Scheduling office staff retrieved these paper documents, entered data from the paper fax into their scheduling application, and began the scheduling process. Once the process was complete, the scheduler then filed the paper documents to a file cabinet.
Recognizing the deficiencies with their paper processes, NSMC looked for a paperless solution that would process, store, and index documents efficiently. With FAXCOM Image Indexing, the NSMC scheduling workflow is now faster, more reliable, and completely paperless. “The Image Indexing solution has been an enormous success for the scheduling office,” said Debra Murphy. “It used to take 90 seconds, on average, to take a paper fax into the scheduling step of our workflow. Now it takes 10 seconds!” NSMC processes up to 1,500 images per day with FAXCOM Image Indexing, enabling them to schedule 500 appointments per day.
