Problem

NCG Medical Systems wanted to help Peachtree Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeons and Spine and Pain Medicine Center improve efficiency, medical practice profitability, increase the ability to better comply with guidelines, save time spent physically searching for medical files and overall enhance patient satisfaction.

Solution

NCG Medical proposed that Peachtree Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeons and Spine and Pain Medicine Center implement a Fujitsu fi-4120C2 scanner based imaging solution that operates with their d-Chart medical records system. A fi-4120C2 scanner was chosen by the medical practice for its simple operability, ability to generate excellent images, affordability, speed, versatility and reliability, which makes this scanner ideal for digitizing a variety of document types.

Application / Results

Since implementing the Fujitsu fi-4120C2 scanner based d-Chart system, Peachtree Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeons and Spine and Pain Medicine Center has been scanning documents daily. These digitized patient and office files are centrally stored in a manner in which they can be instantly shared between medical locations, enabling staff to complete tasks in a timely fashion by eliminating the lag that occurred when waiting for a paper copy of a requested patient's chart. It also brings about peace-of-mind by giving employees the knowledge that scanned documents are archived in a safe location and that they are meeting compliance guidelines.

The Fujitsu / NCG Medical System partnership enables this medical center to reduce costs, streamline business processes, improve productivity and customer quality, enhance document security and offer better record management. It also enables them to save time associated with retrieving electronic records from multiple medical practice locations and decrease physical storage needs. When all is added up, this tandem is helping Peachtree Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeons and Spine and Pine Medicine Center to save over $100,000 annually. The final result was improved patient satisfaction.
