Hospitals, clinics and health systems across the country depend on ScanSTAT Technologies to quickly and securely process medical records. Using our experts or their own, requests for electronic and paper medical records are processed using our EMR-enabled technology, digitally capturing and releasing requested information.
These organizations were once seeking a solution to streamline their medical record release process and in the market for the right release of information partner. It’s a common situation considering today’s healthcare organizations face greater demands than ever from patients and payers needing medical records. How do they deliver HIPAA compliant, accurate and timely distribution of medical records without burdening their staff or upending their budget? They chose the best fit option of one of three ScanSTAT ROI service models for their organization.
When it comes to selecting your release of information vendor, there are several factors to consider, including cost, staffing capabilities, customer service, quality assurance, compliance and security. The ROI service model you choose must be flexible to meet your organization’s internal needs, yet unwavering in its adherence to quality and industry laws and regulations.
ScanSTAT designed three ROI service models that can be customized even further to improve any organization’s internal processes, fill in staffing gaps and increase the accuracy and speed at which requests for medical records are processed.
The Advantages of Using a Vendor for ROI Services
Especially in an era of healthcare staff burnout, the number of steps and level of detail required to handle release of information requests are proving too much for many organizations’ internal teams. Your capacity to manage ROI decreases when a staff member calls in sick, a sudden influx of requests are received and/or staff who normally handle these requests are pulled in other directions.
With ScanSTAT managing your ROI operations or supporting your existing staff, you gain the advantages of our highly trained health information management team with built-in personnel redundancies, our audit layers, and compliance resources. In other words, no sick days, no scrambling for shift coverage and no additional hiring or training.
