Electronic filing of medical records offers a myriad of benefits, including improved patient care, FTE cost reduction, cost containment, space economies, confidentiality, compliance and liability control. Whether you are implementing a complete electronic medical records (EMR) system or simply need to archive your patient records, BMI has the answer. With the legal requirements to keep medical files for up to 21 years, converting those patient records (e.g. paper, microfilm, microfiche, aperture cards) to a digital format and importing them into your application, storing them on DVD, or hosting them with BMI makes more sense than ever. Our services are independent of the actual software you select which allows us to format the digital data to your specified format for easy import into the electronic record system. We support all industry standard digital formats and can deliver the data on the media of your choice. HIPAA Compliance and Understanding BMI understands HIPAA and the intricacies associated with the handling of medical information. Our facility and conversion procedures are designed to limit employee access to client records on a strict need-to-know basis and maintain the security and confidentiality of client information. The facility itself has limited points of entry/exit and each is secured by electronic security access. Employee access to documents is only for the specific task they perform during conversion and all converted digital data is held on our secure network. |
