Automation of medical records can boost cash flow.
Hospitals operating with manual medical records systems may find themselves unable to meet the increased need for documentation brought on by healthcare administration developments of the 1980s. Automation can improve efficiency of coding, abstracting, chart tracking, chart deficiency analysis, and correspondence. Whether a hospital chooses a stand-alone system for medical records or opts for a hospital-wide information system, automation can yield financial benefits.
