Chart Abstraction

Many of today’s health systems are implementing new or enhancing existing EHRs as well as other clinical software. Frequently, this means patient data will require conversion into a new software system either from an existing legacy system or paper charts. One of the most formidable tasks in this process is the transition of shelves of patient records stored on paper or hidden in an outdated system to the electronic system. This time-consuming effort presents a challenge to organizations with limited staff often having more work than enough staff to fully address the project.

Our Chart Abstraction service provides a flexible, customized solution designed to help clients convert patient data housed in legacy systems or on paper charts with minimal disruption to day to day operations. We carefully review each customer’s situation to provide a tailored recommendation of the most appropriate staffing levels and expertise needed to effectively convert the data. This allows physicians and specialty practices to choose the critical patient information needed for optimal continuum of care.
