5 Essential Tips for Managing Medical Records

Working in the healthcare industry comes with many challenges; in a profession dependent on quick and accurate data, effectively managing medical records is paramount.

From numerous hurdles when it comes to printing, document management, and data storage, finding solutions that promote better management may seem unlikely. However, there is hope. Discover tips for managing medical records to optimize your organization and improve the ability to help patients. 

 

1. Centralized Document Management

One of the most common challenges in healthcare is the lack of centralized document management. Medical records are often scattered across various departments and locations, making retrieval and record-keeping cumbersome. Document management solutions enable healthcare institutions to store, organize, and retrieve documents digitally, even from remote locations. This centralized system ensures medical records are accessed quickly and securely by authorized personnel. 

  

2. Secure Data Storage

HIPAA compliance is a crucial aspect of medical record management. After all, no matter how big or small your practice is, maintaining patient confidentiality and data security is vital. QualityDOS offers secure data storage solutions through trusted brands like Kyocera, ensuring medical records are protected against unauthorized access and data breaches. As technology that complies with HIPAA and is Cerner certified, Kyocera offers powerful features designed to safeguard your data. Unique user identification allows you to track who has accessed your data and AES 256-bit encryption turns your plain text data into a near impenetrable cipher, deterring even the most determined cybercriminals. 

  

3. Efficient Printing Solutions

In a healthcare setting, printing is essential for various purposes, such as lab reports, prescriptions, and medical records. However, managing resources and ensuring efficient use can be a challenge. This is where managed print comes in. This solution allows healthcare institutions to track and control printing activities, reducing costs and improving efficiency. Our expertise in print management allows healthcare providers to optimize their printing processes and ensure seamless operations. 

  

4. Workflow Automation

Manual workflows easily fall victim to human error, often leading to delays and incorrect data.  In turn, this affects healthcare practitioner’s ability to treat patients quickly and effectively. To combat this issue, a switch to an automated workflow eliminates the need for manual data entry and increases accuracy when managing medical records. 

  

5. Integrating Wisely with Existing Systems

When integrating digital office solutions with existing systems, the last thing you want is for roadblocks to waste your time and add more problems. To ensure a smooth transition, trust a professional who will assess the situation and find the best course of action that will meet your specific needs for full integration with Enhanced Care Management.
