Tips on selecting the right scanner for your medical office:

While you can never eliminate paper from the medical office, it is possible to make the process of handling the influx as easy as possible.

Fujitsu’s 5100 series scanners are the most commonly used models in the industry. They have small footprints and therefore can be placed directly beside a computer terminal located at a front desk. This will allow your staff to quickly scan documentation such as intake forms, HIPAA forms, referral letters, and insurance cards without having to leave their station.

Multi-function units which include print and fax capabilities are cost-effective options where limited scanning will be done. High speed scanners handling over 25 PPM (pages per minute) may be purchased or rented for the initial implementation phase during which heavy scanning is anticipated.

Some systems operate under UNIX or Linux servers. If your software is one of those, then it is usually best to consult your vendor or local IT company as to which type of server you will need.
