The Challenge

Cooper County Memorial Hospital had several challenges facing them in the immediate future. They had been using the traditional Microfilm system to store and retrieve Medical Record Document images for a number of years. Not only was there an immediate need for a Microfilm Reader replacement, but the additional consideration of the recurring annual Microfilm system maintenance cost. They found themselves needing to read film off premise and were also quickly running out of storage space at the Hospital. Looking to the immediate future, they wanted to begin compliance with the EMR (Electronic Medical Records) initiative as well as reduce the cost of handling documents and begin to share records across the hospital network.
