Medical Record Scanning Benefits
Free up valuable space
With our scanning and digitisation expertise, you can unlock your valuable space by converting physical paper documents and other records into digital searchable files. Say goodbye to filing cabinets, cluttered storage areas and box-filled basements.
Securely protect information
Store records securely in the cloud with controlled access levels and fully auditable traceability. Reduce the risk of data loss, damage or theft. Simplify regulatory compliance and governance through improved access to information.
Centralise access
Bring all of your information together in one place - easily prepare for audits and CQC inspections. Adhere to NHS retention requirements with automated document management systems - compliant with NHS England's Corporate Records Retention and Disposal Schedule.
Quickly search all documents
Using optical character recognition (OCR) technology, document and record contents will be fully indexed and text searchable giving fast access to patient information where and when it is needed most. Suitable for most file types and available in 50+ languages.
How it works
Removal
Documents are packed and collected from your hospital or practice via tracked, unliveried vehicles. For large-scale, multi-site projects, a collection schedule will be arranged.
Preparation
On arrival, documents are booked onto internal tracking systems, then each record is manually prepared for scanning by sorting, removal of paperclips and staples.
Scanning
Records are scanned in B&W or colour to your preferred format. They are then indexed and structured as per your requirements (by DOB, NHS number, etc).
Delivery
Electronic documents are returned to you via cloud portal access, integrated with your document management system, SFTP or encrypted hard drive.
NHS England strategy to digitise, connect & transform
Digital transformation in health and social care
The NHS has put plans in place for the health and care sector to adopt digital tools to address long-term health improvement goals and to improve recovery from the pandemic.
It has been announced that the ambition is for the majority of health and social care services to have digital foundations in place, including electronic records, by March 2025.
Only 20% of NHS organisations are digitally mature, although 86% have a form of electronic patient record in place. Only 45% of social care providers have any form of digital care records. Replacing paper processes and outdated systems with modern electronic records will allow staff and people to safely access information wherever and whenever it is needed.
National document scanning services
Expert Scan is an experienced team of document scanning experts available nationwide across the UK and beyond if required.
With dedicated logistics teams on hand, we can collect your documents from any office location or warehouse across the United Kingdom, Europe, or Worldwide.
