Iron Mountain and Hartford Hospital to Showcase Best Practices for Hybrid Records Management
Live online discussion will highlight Hartford Hospital's successful migration to Electronic Health Record
BOSTON, MA - February 12, 2007 - Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE:IRM), the global leader in information protection and storage services, will host a Web seminar on successful hybrid records management featuring Hartford Hospital's Privacy Officer and Director of Health Information Management (HIM) Cindy Pugliese. This Web seminar will offer tips for managing hybrid medical records in ways that will help healthcare organizations to reduce costs and increase efficiency so that they can focus greater resources on providing excellent patient care.
The sheer volume of information generated by the healthcare industry, both physical and electronic, is staggering. While more medical records are being created in a digital format, the vast majority still exists in paper. Thus, accommodating different information types will require the management of hybrid records for some time to come. At the same time, healthcare organizations must comply with ever-growing regulations surrounding health information management. A comprehensive medical records management strategy should include the implementation of best practices for managing stored, physical records and accommodate growing information requirements which integrate evolving digital data management solutions.
Topics Include:
- How to triumph over the challenges and common costly errors of managing hybrid records;
- Real solutions, tools and techniques for a seamless migration to the Electronic Health Record; and
- Details of Hartford Hospital's successful journey from the paper to the electronic world.
