St. Vincent Hospital Selects ImageTrac Scanner to
Process Thousands of Medical Records

Healthcare leader gains efficiency, uninterrupted productivity, and responsive service

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, January 7, 2008, Birmingham, AL – Imaging Business Machines, LLC (IBML), announces that St. Vincent’s Hospital in Birmingham is scanning thousands of medical records each day and transforming them into an electronic format using the ImageTrac® Scanning Platform and Sovera from CGI. St. Vincent’s recently upgraded to an ImageTrac scanning system which increased productivity in the hospital’s high-volume scanning operations with reduced labor and cost. Hospital data capture and workflow productivity have been broadly enhanced by the high-speed ImageTrac Color Scanning Platform and its complementarily suite of intelligent recognition software.

ImageTrac scanners read barcode images in multiple locations and in any orientation, front or back thus improving barcode recognition for faster, uninterrupted processing and improved verification and tracking of medical records. Built-in imaging and workflow intelligence minimize pre- and post-preparation for more productive, less expensive document conversion. St. Vincent has also achieved greater economy of scale by centralizing scanning operations from multiple locations.

“For more than 107 years, St. Vincent's Hospital has provided care to the greater Birmingham area, and every day, the healthcare operation must process thousands of medical records to serve its community. With ImageTrac scanning, the hospital achieves faster document delivery for clinical staff, administration, billing and others,” said Jay Keough, Business Development Manager for IBML.
