Paperless Records get an Update

Our PrimeSource TotalCare software is undergoing refinements to improve the delivery of Electronic Health Records in our Medical Records department. Our team of IT experts has been putting the finishing touches on the second version of the software after extensive testing. The new version is faster, more accurate, better looking and easier to use than ever before.

100,000 Records Scanned to Date
PrimeSource TotalCare, powered by LinkSource Manager, our proprietary Electronic Health Record (EHR) management system is already in its second release. Since its
inception earlier this year, the project has allowed Medical Records to begin the transition to paperless. According to Project Manager Mike Scollon, the team is averaging an input of 2000 pages of EHR per week. So far the Medical Records team
has scanned over 100,000 records!

Meeting Goals
The goal of scanning is to keep up with the influx of incoming records as well as scanning back one year. By the end of 2009, we should have all of 2009 in our system electronically, as well as all of 2008. The teams have the goal in sight and feel it’s completely within reason.

Better All The Time
As the second release goes into production, the IT team is already looking to implement many more changes in the near future. The first initiative is to deploy portrait-style monitors to the intake team. These special purpose monitors allow viewing of a full page top to bottom instead of the traditional wide monitor. The TotalCare software has
been optimized for portrait viewing and it really makes documents easy to read and maneuver. The second initiative is to move to providing the TotalCare Archive Viewer tothe teams in the home office that need direct access to records- such as billing. This will allow Associates to access documents directly from their desks- at the touch of abutton. Gone will be the days of requesting a document and searching through file cabinets to find it. It will be as simple as click- and display.
Technology is a beautiful thing.
