A year ago, when we first entered this market, like hundreds of other scanning companies, we discovered there was a problem to be solved. Doctors needed help for scanning their charts. Although providing scanning services to the doctors was the obvious solution, we quickly realized scanning the charts was not the only solution. Some issues we discovered were:
1. Doctors would get sticker shock when they got a scanning quote of $18,000 to $40,000 from a scanning company.
2. In most cases they would get a cluster of PDF images on a drive from a scanning company, and then they would have to manually import them, patient by patient, section by section into their EMR system (very time consuming).
3. Risk of losing the charts, or worse some company shipping charts off shore to scan. Also some companies are using temp workers who might steal information from charts to sell for tax return purposes or other reasons. How we are solving the issues:
We redesigned our production software to be a cost effective and extremely useful tool for all physician practices that prefer to utilize their staff to scan their charts. This allows physicians to avoid the potential problems a third party could cause such as, the higher financial cost, and the potential for lost or stolen charts and also patient information. Solaris is the only software designed to be a springboard to all doctors who are meeting the challenge of digitizing their medical charts. It was designed to streamline the process of going on EMR.
