Does your practice experience mistakes due to human error? Are you concerned about transferring written notes into electronic documents? Does your workflow get bogged down by document entry? You may consider using an EHR like CGM APRIMA, which offers OCR Scanning.
What is OCR?
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology allows you to convert documents, such as PDFs or images containing text, into machine-readable text. OCR enables digitization of documents such as books or articles, allowing them to be accessible electronically. It also allows text recognition, turning documents into editable and searchable text. It can extract demographic information such as name, address, and phone number and fill it in the appropriate place on a document.
What are some ways it can reduce mistakes in your practice?
- Improved Accuracy – OCR technology can accurately capture and convert handwritten or printed text into digital format, minimizing the chances of human error in transcribing medical records, prescriptions, or patient information.
- Faster processing – OCR scanning enables digitization of paper-based documents, such as patient records, medical histories, and lab reports. This speeds up the processing of information, reducing the time healthcare professionals spend manually inputting data.
- Reduced data entry errors – Manual data entry can lead to errors due to typos, illegible handwriting, or misinterpretation. OCR scanning eliminates these errors by automatically extracting and inputting text from documents, ensuring data accuracy.
- Streamlined workflows – By automating the conversion of paper documents into digital format, OCR scanning streamlines administrative tasks and workflows in healthcare facilities. This frees up time for healthcare staff to focus on patient care and other critical tasks.
- Integration with EHRs like CGM APRIMA – OCR technology can seamlessly integrate with EHR systems, allowing for the automatic input of digitized documents and data into patient records. This ensures that healthcare providers have comprehensive and accurate patient information readily available.
- Compliance and Security – OCR scanning helps healthcare organizations comply with regulatory requirements for data management and security by ensuring the accuracy and integrity of digitized medical records and sensitive patient information.
