There’s been a quiet revolution in the Healthcare Industry the last few years, and if you’ve seen a physician lately you’ve watched it happen. Gone are the handwritten notes and paper records, or “charts” that are the patient’s medical history, they’ve been replaced by EMR- Electronic Medical Records. ALL medical records now live in the digital universe:
such information as symptoms or physical complaints, a complete medical history, past and current treatment and medications, medical tests, X-rays, MRI and other radiological scans, current and future checks of general health, expected results and other notes important to a patient’s health and well-being.
Because the information is now an EMR, patient data and providers’ notes can be viewed by multiple physicians or medical technicians in different locations, is searchable for particular words or phrases, and the patient’s history can be easily traced over a period of years without thumbing through a pile of paper.
But who collects and compiles these records? If the records are on paper, who scans or translates them into a digital format?
Digitization and document storage are a natural fit for a professional Business Process Outsourcing firm, a BPO, that offers HIPPA Compliant Healthcare BPO Services, including:
- Medical Billing Services Medical Data Entry Medical Coding
- Medical Data Entry
- Medical Coding

Professionals in the Healthcare sector are usually in it to help others. The hours are long and the responsibility is great. It involves both time and money to get the proper training and to stay up to date on the latest practices. It’s a satisfying career for those who’ve chosen it. Why not let a Healthcare BPO take on the peripheral aspects of providing healthcare?
