- Reliance on dated technology
A large number of healthcare organisations still rely on outdated methods such as post, fax or email to send clinical documents.
- Area Restrictions
Health and care organisations need the ability to send documents locally and nationally. Current methods don’t allow for this to be done in a safe and secure way.
- Document Security
Health and care organisations have an obligation to maintain the security and integrity of clinical documents.
- Lack of audit trail
Current methods used to send clinical document means there is a lack auditability and visibility of the document journey. Therefore documents can get lost along the way, and can’t be rejected and sent back to source if they aren’t relevant.
