DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT
Document Scanning Service
DOCUMENT IMAGING & CODING…DKB will replicate your file system electronically. Since record retention law is now satisfied through electronic file, there is no longer a need to incur storage and retrieval costs, or waste time finding files. Whether you need several years of files scanned at once or you need scanning on an ongoing basis, we can build a scanning program to fit your needs. Why take a day and a half to pull a file when we can help you do it in seconds, and why pay unnecessary fees associated with storage and retrieval?
HOW IT WORKS…
Need your documents shredded after scanning?
1. Consultation: Our dedicated Imaging team will consult you on implementing a cost savings electronic records program. We will work with you to design an organized electronic system on the platform that makes sense for your company.
2. Servicing: When documents are ready for scanning, we will pick them up at your office at which point they enter into our SECURE CHAIN OF CUSTODY. After imaging, we return to you a predetermined organized electronic version of your documents, as well as any documents you do not wish to have shredded. For files that need shredding, Global stores them in a secure location until you have approved your electronic product, and then we
destroy them at our facility for a heavily discounted price. We simply pass our cost savings on to the customer
3. Cost and Time Savings: By converting to an electronic system, you will realize significant savings and efficiency improvement. Cut retrieval time down from days into seconds. Cut out storage, retrieval and hostage fees. Satisfy retention regulation without the hassle.
Scanning Saves Time and Money
Document Scanning can reduce your overall costs of document management in the following areas
- Document Retrieval
- Cost Associated with Lost Files
- Occupancy Costs
What Does It Cost to Retrieve a File
The University of Mass Medical Center published a study about various costs associated with storing and retrieving a file. It is referenced below. In the study, they identified five areas where the manual system affected costs.
1. The time it takes to retrieve a file takes too long. The slow retrieval time is reflected in delayed or lost income.
2. The manual system requires labor and space expense.
3. The manual system results in lost files
4. The manual system lacks the security requirements dictated by various laws
5. No back up exists of the manual files. This lack of backups to paper documents was brought to the fore front of the news during Hurricane Katrina. Lost medical files caused billions of dollars in expense associated with duplicating tests and trying to rebuild some sort of patient history.
What does Document Retrieval Require?
There are eleven steps all performed by a human being. There are eleven steps that can be done wrong. There are eleven steps that have to be paid for. There are eleven steps in which a document can be lost (misfiled or stolen) or a patient’s private information could be compromised.
Receive a request | Travel to file storage area |
Travel to the file storage area | Locate section, identify where the batch was originally located |
Locate the appropriate section, identify and pull the file | File any new documents associated with the batch |
Route file to the requisitioner | Re file in the folder/batch |
Copy documentation requested | Travel back |
Files returned |
There are eleven steps all performed by a human being. There are eleven steps that can be done wrong. There are eleven steps that have to be paid for. There are eleven steps in which a document can be lost (misfiled or stolen) or a patient’s private information could be compromised.
Once a file is lost or stolen, the cost to replace the file can be huge. If medical tests need to be redone, the costs can be in the thousands. If a court case is lost because a loan or other legal agreement is lost, the costs can be huge
Scanning Can Reduce Space Requirements for On-Site Storage
Scanned files are retrieved online. Therefore they don’t generally need to be on hand in the office. The space taken up by the files is sometimes large enough, such that the removal of the files allow you to either release some office space or grow without moving.
Lost and Misfiled Records are No Longer a Problem Once Your Files are Scanned.
Once a hardcopy file is checked out, then you have to reply on your personnel to actually return it the storage location and secondly, accurately re file it to the proper location. Lost files can be over 20% of the files checked out. There are some ways to reduce that percentage down to 2%, but those come with their own additional cost.
Scanning can Allow Multiple People to Have Simultaneous Access to a File
When a file is checked out, no one else can look at it. This can be a tremendous problem. Scanned documents allow for multiple people to have access to the file at the same time.
