Electronic document management solution captures, indexes, stores and retrieves patient information

How do you improve patient care, drive adoption of clinical information systems, solve staff shortages, ensure regulatory compliance, and significantly improve your cash flow — all at the same time?

It's possible with the right Electronic Document Management Solution (EDMS) that captures, indexes, stores and retrieves patient information, using workflow automation to support both the health information management (HIM) department and physicians in the ways they work. And that’s what the Horizon Patient Folder™ hospital document management solutions is all about.

Horizon Patient Folder leverages document management software that gives physicians, HIM personnel and other hospital staff anytime, anywhere access to review, analyze, code and complete electronic charts in their electronic medical records system. It allows HIM departments to become "virtual," giving staff the ability to work remotely while letting authorized hospital personnel view patient records electronically. In addition, it provides physicians with secure online access from their home, office or at the hospital, further streamlining clinical and HIM workflow.
