BACKFILE AND DAY-FORWARD DOCUMENT CONVERSION

A convenient, cost-effective solution for converting historical records

If you need to convert large volumes of historical patient records, Iron Mountain offers backfile scanning services that make this often time-consuming and costly conversion process easier and more cost-efficient.

You can decide whether you want 100 percent conversion of all patient records, or reduce the cost by selecting specific patient files or even file abstracts for conversion. After backfile conversions are completed, new patient records can be converted on a day-forward basis. This minimises the need for additional future backfile scanning.

Backfile and Day-forward Document Conversion provides:

• Intelligent purging of inactive and unneeded patient records
• Expert guidance on which specific patient data should be scanned
• Indexing and off-site storage of patient files
• Conversion and archiving of electronic patient information
