SMART Patient Record Management Service
The organized approach to patient record management
The history of HIM operations in many hospitals and clinics includes a long record of sudden expansions and relocations; uneven staffing supplies; incomplete implementation of new policies, procedures, and equipment; and successive waves of recordkeeping technology. Lost time, lost savings, and often even lost information are the results of a lack of consistent, organized medical records methodology.
It may be time to get SMART.
The AMES® Streamline, Manage, Access, Retain, Toss (SMART) program provides your organization with an organized, effective and proven approach to patient record management. Its designed with all the decades-long experience that AMES brings to medical records solutions.
Using SMART, AMES experts take your employees through a carefully calculated process. Together, they review your records both paper and electronic and evaluate them against preset criteria developed via successful use at numerous other health care centers. Then they work to carefully eliminate truly nonessential documents. Result: decreased storage costs, with increased individual productivity.
Let AMES apply the SMART patient record management service to your health care facility to:
- Cut costs
