Facilitating your transition to the EHR
All CHM programs are designed with the goal of helping you transition effectively to the EHR. As the volume of electronic health records grows, your Health Information Managers will be faced with the challenge of managing both physical and electronic filing systems in parallel.
The first step in creating a CHM program
The CHM program begins with a comprehensive end-to-end evaluation of your healthcare information management practices. As part of this assessment, we evaluate:
- Activity levels for retrievals and refiles
- Volume of inactive records stored offsite
- Volume of active records stored onsite
- Potential cost savings and efficiency gains
- Value of floor space to be reclaimed
Iron Mountain can manage your paper records allowing your staff to focus on the more strategic issues facing your organization. By consolidating disparate records libraries into a cohesive, single library, we can improve the management of your records and simplify the integration with your EHR software. Best of all, as your physical medical records inventory decreases with EHR implementation, the costs of the CHM program will decline.
