A novel method for storage of medical records and documents.

Abstract

Many medical groups have a problem storaging and managing inactive medical records. The storage process involves selecting the records from inactive status, moving the records to storage and retrieving them if the patient is re-established. Many groups simply run out of storage space and are in need of an efficient and cost-effective way to manage this problem. This case study will show that an optical storage system provides a cost-effective method of archiving medical documents that can be easily indexed and retrieved.
