If you are an IT manager for a health care organization, hats off to you. Your expertise is under constant pressure to make sure you are doing your part to reduce costs, optimize expenses, support mobile initiatives, work toward interoperability, secure data, maintain compliance, and otherwise achieve profound digital transformation.
The one small piece of this very complex puzzle-- document scanning plays a key role in any health care organization's digital journey. From the reduction of paper-based processes to ensuring the data from scanned images is appropriately indexed, searchable, and protected, document scanning and image acquisition are core to the daily operations of any health care organization.
Like most health care organizations, you likely have your EHR hosted on a secure server or in the cloud. You need to ensure that your document scanning workflow easily connects to your EHR so that data from scanned images lands quickly into the correct records and can be accessed as necessary by health care providers. Any backlog in document scanning can impede patient care.
Additionally, you need to protect the scanned image data, keeping it from landing in the wrong hands. This means making sure that scanned images are never stored on the local endpoints and are instead transmitted via secure channels to the secured server.
Quality control of scanned images is also a top concern. If images are scanned at the wrong settings, they might be cropped, scanned at too low of a resolution, or even be lacking some pages. Users also scan files at too high of a resolution, causing network congestion and resulting in files that take up unnecessary space on your server.
Quest RemoteScan offers a seamless way to ensure a streamlined document scanning workflow, even in the most complex network environments, including Citrix, VMware, Microsoft Azure, or terminal server. RemoteScan allows you to scan using the applications that are hosted on your server, enabling you to transmit the scanned image immediately to the server without ever storing it on the local endpoint. RemoteScan uses the secure virtual channels that are already in place in your network and does not open any new ports or otherwise introduce any new security risks.
Additionally, RemoteScan offers defaults and templates to take the guesswork out of scanning and ensure consistent results and file sizes that don't cause network congestion. This helps you meet your quality control needs as well as avoid document scanning backlogs.
