When your boxes arrive at our secure scanning facility, they are sorted, logged, and barcoded to track the progress of your documents every step of the way. If you need a document, we can quickly deliver it to you electronically, giving you continuous access to your files.

Document Preparation

Document Preparation

The first step of the process is preparing the documents for scanning. We go through every document in every box to ensure that staples and paper clips are removed as well as fix any dog ears. Barcodes are inserted to automatically create document breaks during scanning.

Document Scanning

We use high quality, high volume scanners with the latest image enhancement technology. Our scanning technicians are trained to look for flaws such as lines, corners, and double feeds to ensure top quality.

Document Indexing

Each document is then named as per your requirements, we call this indexing. We can index each document in anyway you wish to retrieve it, whether it be patient name, work order number, file name – anything.

Quality Control

Quality Control

Each scanned image is viewed by a quality control technician to ensure proper image quality. If image quality is in question, the image is flagged for review/rescan. This ensures we have captured the best image possible without any flaws.
