When a doctor treats a patient, they keep a file on the person. This file contains the doctor’s notes for the patient’s visits. It may say something about what was wrong and what treatment was administered. Medical facilities must keep patient’s records updated and organized. Read on to find how chart retrieval services can benefit your facility.
Save Time
A medical facility tends to get busy. Patients are constantly coming in and out. Medical requests are one of the many tasks your facility must process. It is going to take time to process these requests while treating your patients. You can save a lot of time by outsourcing patients’ record requests.
Organized Records
Most medical facilities use computers to store patients’ information. The information written in the file needs to be updated on the computer. Some facilities see several patients daily. It is easy to get behind on updating your patients’ records.
If a patient cannot get his or her records within a reasonable timeframe, then the patient may leave a bad review. You can avoid a hit to your reputation by using a medical retrieval service.
Avoid Hiring More Staff
Many medical facilities are focused on the daily operations. It is common for facilities to hire additional staff to handle medical records request and to update patients’ files. However, it is more affordable to use a chart retrieval service than to hire additional employees. This service also allows you to get your medical requests out faster.
Medical facilities must allow patients to get a copy of their medical records. It is required by law and you can make the patient provide identification. When a request is made, you must be prepared to hand over the file. Contact GeBBS Healthcare Solutions, Inc to take care of your chart retrieval needs.
