Typical Paper Charts:

Orthopedic charts are usually in two locations-hospital and office. Charts may be thin if the event was isolated, such as a traumatic bone break.

Older patients or those with spinal conditions or joint replacements have thicker charts. These patients may regularly return to the office.

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.
