Paper-to-digital archiving solution available for private medical practices

~ PPM Software adds paper document digitalisation to its private medical practice management offering in collaboration with TMT ~

PPM Software, developers of the private medical practice management software suite ‘PPM’ – Private Practice Manager, has added a paper to digital archiving solution to its service offering. PPM Software is collaborating with Transmedia Technology to provide document conversion, imaging, scanning and archiving services for both new and existing customers.

PPM Software's paper to digital archiving is a full on-site, all format document scanning and project management service. It produces high quality, accurate scans from any document using the latest optical character recognition and intelligent character recognition technology, our scanners. The company can also provide a range of document management services, including microfiche, microfilm and document scanning, file collation and organisation, indexing, bar-coding and in-house archiving.

Security, privacy and accurate medical history and record keeping are critical to instilling customer confidence and maintaining a successful practice. This is particularly true in private medical practices which handle sensitive patient information on a daily basis. Storing documents in a digital format can help alleviate the problems of lost or leaked data, mislaid patient records and slow or inaccurate invoicing.

“Our customers understand that efficient information management is a huge benefit to both their practices and their patients,” Tom Hunt, managing director of PPM Software explained. “So we think it’s logical that we offer document conversion alongside our database management software.

“It’s now more than ten years since the medical industry started talking about the paper-less office and most private practices are still very dependent on manual filing systems. But paper isn’t a very efficient, financially robust or even environmentally friendly way of storing information. Our archiving services means that patient records, photos, financial records and any other paper based documents can easily be converted to digital format and then incorporated into PPM – Private Practice Manager. Once this is done, everyone knows where the information is, a doctor can have immediate access to a patient’s history and their privacy is one step closer to being assured.”
