"Scanning For Healthcare In The O.C." GoScan Helps 6th Largest U.S. County Automate Data Collection
GoScan recently announced that the Orange County Health Care Agency ("OCHCA") has purchased GoScan to help automate document processing. Orange County is the 6th largest county in the United States and has more than 3 million residents.
The agency has dozens of ongoing projects where data must be collected continuously. This involves digitizing and classifying paper forms from multiple sites and moving the images into the correct electronic repository while maintaining strict HIPAA security guidelines. GoScan provides a simple, secure way for local users and remote sites to scan and classify forms.
The OCHCA provides numerous healthcare services including controlling the spread of disease such as H1N1 influenza, ensuring that recreational waters are safe, helping people deal with drug and alcohol addictions, and providing physical therapy to disabled children. OCHCA is composed of several service areas including public health, behavioral heath and institutional health services.
GoScan's ultra simple interface allows users with minimal computer skills to sit at the scanning station and begin the capture process immediately. Users simply load the paper in the scanner's feeder and press the large green "GoScan" button on the computer screen. With GoScan, thousands of documents can be securely scanned, indexed and uploaded every day, giving researchers instant access to their documents wherever and whenever the need arises.
"The simplicity, security and affordability of GoScan is a great match for the Orange County Healthcare Agency's distributed capture requirements," said Mike Stuhley, GoScan president and CEO. The software makes it easy for the county to quickly and accurately collect various forms and other paperwork and transfer it to a central database so decisions can be made on current data. With the economic hitting California hard, GoScan is affordable enough to purchase a license for every public and private provider to use for public health data collection efforts."
