Typical Paper Charts:

Most charts are only a few pages. Many patients, especially younger ones, may not be seen for years between eye exams.

Charts of patients with uveitis or surgery will be thicker. Charts often are kept for years to retain refractive histories.

Put PCARCHIVER to use:

Scan records of patients not seen for 3 years. Remove and shred old records, following state guidelines. If the patient returns, print all or part of the old record and make a new active chart.

Condense thick charts by scanning and shredding older portions of the record. Scanned records can easily be shared between multiple offices. Scanning records provides backup and eliminates paper storage costs and retrieval.
