RAS Report Viewer

  • The Report Viewer (including the Web version) can now be configured to support .DOC, .PPT, .RTF, and any other files for which a Windows association exists.
  • The Report Viewer (non-Web version) now includes an option to print the contents of the current report list. The user can select the data fields that will appear in the printout.
  • The Web Report Viewer can now accept a URL that will take the user directly to a specified report without needing to navigate the report list.

RASi General

  • Document Types and Document Sets can now be associated with multiple Patient Types. Also, it is no longer required that Document Types and Document Sets be associated with a Patient Type, thus allowing for “global” DocTypes and DocSets.

RASi Viewer

  • The RASi Viewer now includes an option to export selected patient documents. The documents are exported to a user-specified folder in PDF format along with a cover/search page to make it easy to navigate and view the exported documents.
  • The viewer now supports an application programming interface (API) that allows users to initiate a RASi Patient Folder search from another application.
  • The Document Summary pane can now optionally group documents by category.

RAS Forms Viewer

  • The Forms Viewer now includes an option to print the contents of the current Form’s data list. The user can select the data fields that will appear in the printout.

Information Management Strategy

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010

Phil Sullivan, DBTech, Director of Marketing and Technology

Last year AIIM released an ebook entitled, “8 reasons you need a strategy for managing information – before it’s too late”.  The full download can be found here.  I recommend you read it because you will be surprised at how risky it is to not have a plan in place.

The reasons vary from environmental to legal.  From putting in a fail-safe for lost documents to eliminating the risk of non-compliance.  Did you know that 7.5 percent of all documents get lost, 3% of the remainder get misfiled.

The information management landscape is changing quickly and dramatically and the stakes of getting it wrong are rising.  Now is the time to finally create and implement a strategy to treat your organization’s information as a critical business asset.

RAS enables you to completely eliminate that risk.  Water damage to your file room?  Not a problem because your information is stored safely online and is backed up.  Filing cabinets in HR were damaged?  Again, your information is stored online and is safe.

Document management enables you to eliminate paper before it is printed with electronic document capture.  Your existing paper can be scanned and barcoded if needed.  That is how a document imaging system eliminates your risk and puts you on a path for a true information management strategy.

    Friday, September 3rd, 2010

    By Greg Park

    Seventy Five percent of you reading this post will experience a major system downtime within twelve months.  More than half will be down more than an hour, and a smaller percentage will experience a downtime in excess of twelve hours.

    Patient perceptions, staff satisfaction, decreased revenues and adversely affected quality measures are byproducts of a major system downtime, and must be addressed by every provider.

    Data and platform redundancy are obvious responses to this situation, but for many hospitals maintaining hot-sites with real-time redundancy is too much expense while managing the resources required implementing Meaningful Use of certified EHR’s under ARRA. read more…

    Paper Data Breach Hits Four Hospitals

    Thursday, August 19th, 2010

    Health Data Management published an article this week about a paper data breach that hit four hospitals recently.

    Four community hospitals in Massachusetts and their associated pathology practices are investigating major breaches after tens of thousands of paper pathology records were found at a recycling station by a Boston Globe photographer who was dropping off his trash.

    Unfortunately paper data breaches like this are far too common.  Although they should be easy to avoid, that isn’t always the case.  How secure is your paper?  What audit procedures do you have in place to track compliance?

    With RAS this process is simple.  Everything that can be captured electronically is sent to RAS and stored in a secure and encrypted system.  Any data requests are granted based on role based permissions.  All requests are tracked so you can easily determine who viewed, printed or emailed a report.  These permissions can be granted or restricted based on your organizational policies.  Your information is made available instantly throughout your organization through a secure web browser.

    The dumped records appear to be pathology reports from 2007 to early 2010, which include names, addresses, dates of birth, diagnoses, insurance policy numbers and Social Security numbers.

    Contact Us today so we can show you how to protect your data.  You can be live with RAS in under 30 days.
