Documentation management systems (DMS) are used to track, manage and store documents and reduce paperwork. They are capable of keeping large volumes of records of various versions and in different formats. They are also able to track activities of different users.
Hospitals, clinics and private practices maintain patient medical records and billing information on a daily basis. Physicians and doctors are required to retain these medical records for a certain number of years before they dispose of them.
According to the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), practitioners are advised to retain medical records for at least six years after they become dormant. Most hospitals and clinics abide by this policy. Over a period of time, this amounts to a large volume of data to administer.
This is just one of the many challenges hospitals face every day. Other important issues may relate to the waste of limited resources and security threats to confidential patient information.
