Healthcare and ECM

With HIMSS around the corner I thought it would be a good time to talk about ECM technologies in the healthcare vertical. If you are not familiar with HIMSS, it stands for Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society. This organization puts on a large event every year. This year it is in New Orleans. You usually are comforted that you are in the right location for HIMSS as soon as you make it to the baggage claim and have huge healthcare signs starring you in the face. Because the event is so large it covers a broad range of healthcare tools from portable x-ray machines to database back-ends. And of course there is ECM everywhere. In the area of scanning, ability to scan cards becomes important, and image dropout quality is a top concern. In the area of capture there is current buzz on how to handle the new HCFA and UB04 extraction. Technologies already exist on the market to accurately OCR HCFA, UB92 and a few now supporting UB04. Also the always challenging EOB capture has been solved by a few, and partially solved by many. For content management systems there are critical requirements around security, accessibility, and also support for input and output of the 835 file format. EDI is the keyword sounding digital information. Really for content management systems this is a challenging vertical that is dominated by several very large medical only companies. Healthcare also brings some other interesting content driven niches such as speech recognition, tablet PC notes, document codeing, and HUGE amounts of rich media such as x-ray images and video. There are specialized content systems just around managing this information. One aspect of healthcare that makes it a little easier is the fact that how information is stored is more or less static system. The healthcare vertical is one that understanding the technologies and lingo are critical to keeping and closing any deal. It is also critical to understand how all the pieces fit together, because your prospect will ask.

Planning is such a significant component for any EMC implementation, but especially healthcare. Large image files require the server space, as well as a strong network background for transfers.

I have written a few articles on the planning topic:

I believe that the conversion to EMR is going to be one of the biggest industry trends for 2009. Currently our company, http://www.p2escan.com has focused all of its resources on helping hospitals and practices convert their medical records into this new system.

Agreed ! Planning is one of important component before doing any kind of implementation especially in the case of health care. It made all the requirement clears before doing any task. And also, Made the job very easy .
