Health systems rely on manual workflows to upload thousands of CDs of outside patient images per month. Some have up to 10 dedicated FTES in central image archive departments manually performing this routine, repeatable tasks.
Complex workflows are often required to import these images into the central archive system and link it to the EHR. Additionally, manual patient data entry can result in errors and duplicate or incomplete charts.
