Now Home Health agencies can utilize the power of DocuShare to provide complex searching and organization for paperless patient charts

ANAHEIM, CA., -  Select Data (www.selectdata.com) is using Xerox DocuShare enterprise content management (ECM) platform to provide the home health care industry a paperless office with complete charting and documentation.

Select Data's unique approach to capturing electronic medical record (EMR) information has given agencies new choices when documenting patient records. Select Data's hybrid approach now incorporates Xerox's document management to provide complex searches and fast document retrieval for all clinical and patient information. The combined solution provides a central repository for patient documents that are scanned in from multiple sources.

Jeff Brittain, CTO of Select Data, explains, "We are not just creating a document imaging system for users to scan in paper documents; we are taking information captured in the EMR and converting that to a user friendly document that can be read side by side with all documentation. This saves users from having to navigate two systems."

Now agencies have the ability to give surveyors and others access to patients' charts, without requiring them to be experts in multiple EMR systems. "The addition of Xerox DocuShare to manage documents within a patient's chart has made this project a huge success," said Brittain.

According to David Smith, Vice President, Xerox DocuShare, "DocuShare can provide solutions for very complex environments like healthcare, and Select Data has demonstrated just how powerful it can be for home health agencies."
