The first stage involved scanning of legacy documents and medical records that have been consuming the space for several years.
In the second stage we secured all the previous documents in portable storage devices and uploaded some in a document management system.
The third stage was implemented to ensure no backlogs are created in the future. An on-site scanning station was permanently set in their premises, with the deployment of a few professionals to execute the purpose
"In the first consignment more than 4000000 (Forty lakh ) copies were scanned to reduce office space and time. By the second consignment, all other documents were scanned and saved in the searchable PDF. These documents are from their general hospital wing.
