Early into his second term, President George W. Bush called for the nationwide adoption of universal EMRs by 2015. Most healthcare organizations seem to be on board with this mission and agree that widespread use of EMRs will reduce storage and recordkeeping costs, protect patient confidentiality, and improve research and patient care. While the potential benefits are evident, most healthcare practitioners are slow to implement EMR practices and platforms. The aversions to EMR adoption are well documented. Full story »

Many small business owners are working hard to make the term “paperwork” as obsolete as the typewriter.

By Maria Varmazis, Purchasing MagazineWhen a document is scanned and entered into a document management system, it’s not just a picture of the paper document. All of its text becomes indexed and searchable in a database for later retrieval. David Yeskel, systems analyst for the city of Santa Monica, Calif., said that the city’s government aimed to do just that when it started migrating to a new document management system in late 2005. “We had a large back-file of building permits going back to the 1920s—literally millions of pages of paper that we wanted to make sure we could protect over time and make easily searchable,” said Yeskel. Yeskel and a committee within the city of Santa Monica sent out RFPs to a number of document management companies. In the end, the city went with Laserfiche software. A deciding factor was that Laserfiche scaled its solution to the size the city needed and helped implement the software to get document management operating as quickly as possible. Within six months, the Laserfiche system, which is accessible online, was up and running for use within the city’s administration. “We can give our users a URL on our intranet, and they’re automatically logged in to Laserfiche,” Yeskel said. “There’s no software for us to install and our annual software maintenance is half of what it was.”

Christina Mucciolo said, “You’ve been hearing about the paperless office for years. Yet, it seems the mound of printed matter in a financial-advisory office only continues to grow.” She said that if you can manage to digitize your office, you’ll save big. For those who need help, there are many “how to” resources, including document software providers like Laserfiche. According to Laserfiche’s ROI for RIA’s white paper, a paperless office cuts down on storage space, which costs money, and makes firms more efficient in interacting with clients and regulators, said Jeffrey Green, director of compliance/senior consultant for the Laserfiche Solutions Group.

Going paperless is a top goal of wealth managers this year, says Ken Hyman, president and CEO of Santa Barbara, Calif.-based Partnervest Financial Group. Paperless account opening systems are in the offing, involving e-signatures—from Pershing Advisor Solutions, for one, launching in this first quarter—and by major financial institutions as well. “The industry is trending toward this,” says Hyman. “Big banks have offerings ready. There’s a general belief that regulations allowing electronic signatures are still debatable.” But according to virtual-office consultant Joel Bruckenstein: “It depends on who your custodian is. If they don’t need paper signatures, you don’t have to print out forms.” Full story »

A recent study and white paper sponsored by Laserfiche shows that the smallest of advisory firms can save $40,000 or more annually by implementing a document management solution. Reporter Davis Janowski states that going paperless improves customer service, enhances compliance and transforms audits into little more than minor data calls instead of multi-day office shutdowns. For owners considering retiring or selling, a document management system can add significantly to a firm’s value.
