SaaS…A Good Alternative
In 2007, Lubbock Heart Hospital in Lubbock, TX was a new hospital with a big problem. Success had filled the file room in just two years. Christi Rister, the HIM Director was looking for a solution that met this criteria:
- Security and HIPAA compliance and control
- Readability of scanned images – even on EKG and pulmonary function tests
- Ability to catalog like they are set up, not fitting a vendor format
- Easy access – view all of a patient’s activities then select what is wanted
- Intuitive software requiring no learning curve
- Control of who is allowed access
- 24-hour access with chart retrieval while records are being scanned
- Paper storage as a safety net
- Speed in converting – ability to scan quickly and upload to SaaS
"We looked at other vendors too, but EDCO met all of the points," adds Rister.
“We didn’t have one glitch. It’s like getting an EHR and somebody else does all the work.”
