Handling
your Data
|
|
| - |
Ensure that, first of all, there is enough data
storage capability on your clinic’s hard drive to
handle the software requirements. Monitor your
system on a daily or weekly basis, so that you
are not surprised when you run out of room.
Data storage is typically inexpensive when
bought ahead of time. |

Understand the differences between types of
data. Not all data needs to be readily accessible.
There are three types of data. The first
does need to be accessible; this is information
or charts for patients who are currently coming
into the office. This type of data should be
stored on magnetic media. The second type of
data is archival; this is information on patients
who have not come to the office for two or three
years, and can be stored on read-only storage
disks. And the third type of data is information
about patients who have not come in for longer
than three years- after a certain point, this data becomes destroyable, and can be deleted automatically,
according to a flagging process within the system.
Identifying the three types of data helps your
clinic cut down on unnecessary storage and eliminates
superfluous data. |

As
your clinic makes the switch to a
paperless office, you no longer have
boxes upon boxes of patient charts
and other paperwork.
Yet with electronic medical records
comes a new issue: electronic data
storage.
With computerization of your medical
records comes new responsibility:
data storage, back-up and recovery.
These are vital aspects of EMR, but
physicians often do not have the expertise
to handle these issues effectively.
Intuitive Solutions, however, does
have the necessary expertise and the
resources to help you address these
responsibilities.
Intuitive Solutions has identified
some basic guidelines regarding data
storage, back-up and recovery.
