Patient Financial Services departments are responsible for maintaining large quantities of documentation related to patient billing and collection efforts critical to the hospitals financial viability. This documentation can be patient, visit, insurer and/or policy and procedure specific. In addition to their own document management, storage, retention and retrieval needs they also require access to clinical data and documentation to support the billing and collection processes. In most cases timely access to information is paramount to insure timely payment and to maximize the dollars collected. Traditional paper storage and retrieval process are costly, require high numbers of FTE and are burdened by slow retrieval times and lost or missing documentations. Requests from other departments take even longer and access is limited to one official paper copy of clinical documentation.
