Driving Value Across Your Enterprise
Document Management: A Core IT System

Healthcare IT News and Healthcare Finance News each conducted a Document Management & Imaging Survey to determine providers’ perceptions and usage of document and content management solutions as part of their organization’s IT infrastructure.

While document and content management applications are slowly emerging as a core enterprise-wide IT solution – thanks to early adopters – mainstream adoption is still a few years away, the survey shows. The trend may accelerate, however, with the rise of documented clinical and financial benefits by visionary healthcare organizations.

This full report, including the survey results and case studies from top healthcare organizations uncovers important information related to document management usage and solution perception within the healthcare provider community.

Perspectives: Document Management in Healthcare

An ECM system for all EHR vendors
Vendor neutrality is a beautiful thing when it comes to integrating new health IT applications or new core IT systems into existing core IT systems. It's especially critical when hospitals have invested so much time, money and resources into upgrading core IT systems.

Augmenting EMRs with an EDM solution

What do Cleveland Clinic, Allina Hospitals & Clinics, and SSM Health Care out of St. Louis, Mo., have in common? All three health systems implemented Epic's electronic medical record (EMR) system and Hyland Software's enterprise document management solution (EDM), OnBase. While all three have their own health IT goals and vision, the strategy to implement their Epic EMR included the deployment of an EDM solution.

Fully optimizing enterprise content management

With the big push to implement EHRs and EMRs, and meet meaningful use criteria in 2011, many hospitals are deploying enterprise content management (ECM) applications to augment their electronic patient records.

While this is currently the most visible use of ECM applications, it should not be the only use by hospitals. The economic downturn has pummeled hospitals and the stalled recovery promises more hard times. Hospitals need to view their health IT initiatives strategically. Health IT initiatives should be leveraged for future needs and across the enterprise.

The grand vision once core IT systems are implemented

There's a big push in the healthcare industry for hospitals to deploy core IT systems -- electronic medical records, PACs, practice management, cardiology -- to enable more efficient, higher quality care. Once those systems are in place, the next step is to ensure that as much clinical information is fed into those systems to make them optimally efficient and present a comprehensive view of each patient from a clinical and financial perspective.

Content management's place in high-quality healthcare

The HITECH Act has brought health IT to the center of our 21st century healthcare delivery system transformation. What's getting the most attention, as we all know, is the meaningful use of electronic health records. While EHRs are certainly a core health IT system in hospitals and large physician groups, there are other applications out there that are also core, if not complementary. One of those applications is enterprise content management (ECM).
