| | May 20186UTLOOK Healthcare Tech Alex D'souzaManaging Editoreditor@healthcaretechoutlook.comThe healthcare sector has embarked on its paperless journey by embracing document management system (DMS). This is in response to the hospitals and clinics that are required to retain patient records for a minimum of 10 years, which over the time would result in high volumes of paper records. All the paperwork from patient forms, insurance cards, co-payment receipts, physician notes, diagnosis codes, lab results, secondary billing to the ever important HIPAA compliance can be managed by a single DMS now. DMS has proven to be cost-effective as it manages patient information electronically. Also, through smarter processing, DMS facilitates clinicians' decision making in treatment and hospitalization procedures, improving the quality of patient care and safety. It allows care providers to access patient files by simply keying in a search term and retrieving their medical record in mere seconds, leaving them more time to spend on value-adding activities. Most of the systems are mobile-enabled that allows physicians to view and upload patient data at their fingertips from anywhere. What is more, DMS integrates with the existing clinical and administrative systems of a hospital such as patient information systems and billing systems to constantly update the data about the patient.Alongside, streamlining workflows, the use of DMS eliminates the risk of document breaches as it provides security controls to medical professionals who can regulate the access of data to limited people. This ensures that data is secure and compliance with regulatory bodies such as HIPAA is maintained. With the implementation of DMS in healthcare is on the rise, the global medical document management market is expected to reach $789.9 million by 2023 as per Stratistics MRC. Gearing towards the paperless era, the healthcare sector is constantly endeavoring to find the right DMS to take care of all its files and documents cost-effectively.
