Do less, save more.
Healthcare providers are realizing the cost and risk benefits of outsourcing
active records with Iron Mountain’s ActivFile™ Solutions.
In today’s tough
economy, many healthcare providers find themselves having to continually
tighten their budget belts.
And, the pressure to cut already reduced operating costs and streamline
processes has forced some organizations to outsource the storage and management
of active patient files.
Iron Mountain’s
ActivFile Solutions program is ideal for hospitals and health systems focused
on transitioning to electronic records. Our approach begins with a complimentary assessment
of your current records management and information storage program and we work with you to design a customized solution that is
focused on your Electronic Health Record (EHR) transition goals.
As part of the
program, we consolidate active and inactive records into a single system. Your medical records are stored and managed
off-site, and as a result, valuable hospital space can be used for
revenue-generating opportunities. This consolidation reduces time tracking
charts, maintaining file rooms, performing purges and managing file room
staff—allowing you to significantly reduce your current in-house medical
records management program costs. In fact, outsourcing
your medical file room operations to Iron Mountain can decrease your costs by
up to 30%.
Consolidating patient records also helps reduce the risks of
lost or misplaced charts, streamlines workflow and allows you to benefit from
centralizing operations such as document scanning and Release of Information.
It can also significantly improve timely access to patient information,
ultimately improving patient care. Outsourcing provides an opportunity to
eliminate inconsistent records management practices that may have evolved over
time in your organization.
And, the cost savings realized from centralizing records off-site can
help fund your transition to electronic records.
Iron
Mountain’s team of experts can help you design an ActivFile Solution program
that offers real savings and better control over patient records.
