Long Island Firm cites increased demand for Med­ical Record Scan­ning as Med­ical Prac­tices con­tinue their inte­gra­tion with Elec­tronic Med­ical Record, or EMR, Systems.

Med­ford, NY March 30, 2010 — Shore­line Records Man­age­ment, orig­i­nally founded in 1994, has announced an expan­sion of their Records Man­age­ment and Doc­u­ment Scan­ning facil­ity in Med­ford, NY. The firm has cited increased demand for Med­ical Record Scan­ning as Med­ical Prac­tices con­tinue their inte­gra­tion with Elec­tronic Med­ical Record, or EMR, Sys­tems. This expan­sion adds capac­ity for Shore­line, which offers com­plete Records Man­age­ment Ser­vices com­bin­ing Off­site Doc­u­ment Stor­age, Out­sourced Doc­u­ment Scan­ning and Doc­u­ment Man­age­ment Soft­ware solu­tions. Shore­line Records Management’s Ser­vices help orga­ni­za­tions reduce doc­u­ment related costs in their oper­a­tion by replac­ing paper-based infor­ma­tion with easy to use dig­i­tal images.

“We’re look­ing for­ward to help­ing more prac­tices deliver on the promise of the Paper­less Med­ical Office,” said Tom Doyle, Pres­i­dent of Shore­line Records Man­age­ment. “Our Med­ical Record Scan­ning ser­vices have been extremely well received by the med­ical com­mu­nity, and adding to our capac­ity for Med­ical Doc­u­ment Stor­age and Scan­ning will allow us to help more prac­tices scan paper charts to their Elec­tronic Med­ical Record Systems.”

The effi­ciency gain and cost sav­ings regard­ing Patient Chart Stor­age and Scan on Demand was so strong that it made all the sense in the world to choose Shore­line. Shoreline’s Med­ical Doc­u­ment Scan­ning Ser­vices help address a cru­cial piece of the nation­wide tran­si­tion toward Elec­tronic Med­ical Records, pro­vid­ing not only an out­sourced option, but also a scal­able, scan on demand offer­ing that offers Med­ical Prac­tices, Hos­pi­tals, and Clin­ics a hybrid solu­tion as they imple­ment EMR Systems.

Shoreline’s Ser­vice allows Prac­tices to store Patient charts securely off­site, which requires a low monthly fee. Charts that are required for retrieval can be scanned on an as needed basis, reduc­ing the upfront invest­ment of scan­ning charts that may never be needed for retrieval but are required to be stored. The trans­for­ma­tion of paper charts to dig­i­tal images can be done in as a lit­tle as two hours as opposed to next day deliv­ery of paper based charts. The firm also offers a full suite of Med­ical Records Man­age­ment Ser­vices, includ­ing stor­age of charts, X-Rays, and other clin­i­cal and busi­ness related documents.

“The effi­ciency gain and cost sav­ings regard­ing Patient Chart Stor­age and Scan on Demand was so strong that it made all the sense in the world to choose Shore­line,” said Jane Stanzi­ola of Dr. Rus­sell Crider’s Office in Great Neck. Dr. Crider’s Pedi­atric Ortho­pe­dic group has been a Shore­line client since Novem­ber 2009. “We used to have to go to a self-storage facil­ity to retrieve charts and it was a huge has­sle. Now we just send an email to Shore­line and they post the files to a secure Por­tal for our review. It saves time and money, and most impor­tantly it gives us fast access to patient information!”

In addi­tion to post­ing med­ical records to Ima­ge­Silo, a secure doc­u­ment access por­tal, Shore­line can con­fig­ure their ser­vices to sub­mit Scanned Images directly to many lead­ing Elec­tronic Med­ical Record Sys­tems. “We are very excited about being able to expand the capac­ity of our oper­a­tion,” said Shore­line VP of Client Ser­vices Michael R. Thomas. “We’ve found that our Med­ical Record Scan­ning ser­vices are pro­vid­ing incred­i­ble value to the clients we’ve worked with so far, and we’re look­ing for­ward to being able to help more prac­tices reduce their reliance on paper charts.”
