PPV: Think outside the box when thinking about EDMS
EHR Connection, April 21, 2008
Electronic Document Management Systems (EDMS) have existed for many years and have served varying purposes during EHR implementation. Hospitals originally used an EDMS as a tool to replace alternative forms of record archival storage, such as microfilm, microfiche, or CDs. An EDMS allowed hospitals to scan paper documents into a database.
As the EDMS evolved—and the use of Computer Output Laser Disk (COLD) electronic interfacing increased—it created the foundation for a legal health record. The refinement of EDMS features over the years led to improved work flow systems that began integrating application-specific functionality for HIM departments.
