CTU Health Care Systems has five clinics that serve nearly 2 million
residents in a large metropolitan area and treat over 500,000 patients
annually. Now that you have successfully implemented the electronic
health record (EHR) at the main facility, it is time to integrate the
clinic’s information technology (IT) with the main hospital’s EHR. In
preparation for the implementation of an EHR system for the five
clinics, the health care system implemented an electronic document (ED)
and content management (CM) system to handle the imaging, indexing, and
storage of selected hard copy documents from active patient paper
medical records so that in the future, to support continuity of care
needs, key documents would be retrievable through the EHR system.
However, the health care system lacked the level of internal IT and
health information services staff resources required to manage the
implementation of hardware and software to handle the actual paper
conversion process, so these aspects of the project were outsourced.
