Challenge
Solution
Ricoh used an advanced image capture solution to automate the electronic capture of patient information and to store captured information on the OFC’s EMR system.
Using Ricoh's advanced imaging solution, Ricoh Canada’s Professional Services Team designed custom scripts to facilitate communication to and from OFC’s EMR system.
The Ricoh solution connects scanned information to the patient name or demographic ID and to the document type or document name, as determined by the OFC scanning operator.
Documents are then routed to the appropriate physician network folder as required. The EMR database is then updated to indicate the document has been scanned, where it is located and the information contained within the document.
