Massachusetts medical center goes paperless with Biscom

Dec. 6 – North Shore Medical Center, a regional healthcare provider in Massachusetts, has implemented Biscom’s Faxcom Image Indexing solution to transition their central scheduling process to a paperless workflow.

Image Indexing works with the Faxcom Server solution so that as faxed requests for services such as MRIs, CT scans, and surgical procedures are received, they are presented to Image Indexing users for review and processing. Image Indexing supports multiple roles and responsibilities to facilitate multi-step workflows, and records all image processing activity to a SQL database, according to the Chelmsford, Mass.-based Biscom.
