With "meaningful use" a reality, healthcare providers need complete electronic health records. They're quickly learning that to make this happen, they must bring together both electronic data and paper-based content. It's certainly a challenge – one that involves many solutions, not just an electronic medical record (EMR) like Eclipsys or Cerner. Proven to integrate EMR data with those important faxes and scans, as well as clinical content such as EKG results, ECM is gaining more attention as a key technology. The OnBase ECM software suite, which benefits more than 1,000 healthcare facilities worldwide, continues to be a top choice for organizations.
"Healthcare providers imagine an ideal electronic health record that paints the full patient care picture," said Susan deCathelineau, healthcare manager for Hyland Software. "An EMR alone simply can't do that. More often, providers are seeing a clear line forming between what EMRs handle well – structured data – and what ECM solutions like OnBase do – integrate the unstructured content to create a more complete patient record. Our 19 percent year-over-year growth in healthcare is the proof. Providers aren't just thinking about ECM as an application. They're making it a critical part of their electronic health record strategy."
