HITECH Act, ARRA, and Paperless Document Management

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (and the HITECH Act contained therein) recognized that increasingly paperless medical document management is necessary for a more efficient and effective health care system.

Its financial incentives and (in coming years) penalties revolve around the "meaningful use" of certified EHR / EMR technology, referring to the use of such technology in fulfillment of so-called core and menu objectives. Many meaningful use criteria are more easily and thoroughly met by integrating data capture software and electronic faxing solutions with the EHR / EMR software from leading vendors.

Make your HIT use more meaningful with data capture, data entry, and electronic faxing software solutions from Paperless Productivity

How Paperless Solutions Facilitate More Meaningful EHR Use

The following are some key criteria of the final meaningful use stage 1 guidelines:

Timely provision of electronic health information to patients, upon their request

With an electronic fax server solution, information can be securely transmitted to patients with the click of a mouse

Electronic exchange of key clinical information between providers and other authorized entities

Electronic faxing software enables you to send and receive any quantity of information with maximal ease and security, without adding to paper clutter or requiring a filing clerk

Incorporation of clinical lab-test results into EHR / EMR as structured data

With OCR / ICR / IDR software, incoming information from all common health care documents is automatically classified and exported as normalized data into EHR / EMR, HIS, RIS, and any other information system

Electronic submission of lab results and disease surveillance data

When data capture and electronic fax technology is appropriately integrated, such data can be transmitted to and from EHR / EMR applications with the highest security and unmatched ease and efficiency

OCR data capture technology from innovators like ABBYY and Artsyl helps automate the integration of all data and forms into EHR / EMR systems by eliminating most clerical work. Data entry need not be an inefficient, expensive, and error-prone process.

Integrating an electronic fax server solution will let you send and receive information—securely—without receiving, filing, or printing a single sheet of paper.
