Reminder: good scanning habits

Health Information Management (HIM) would like to remind you about good document practices.

Health Information Management (HIM) would like you to ask yourself four questions when you are scanning:

  • Is the correct Patient and Encounter selected before scanning the image/document?
  • Are the patient labels applied? If the document is double sided, are both sides labeled and scanned (even if one side is blank)?
  • Is the Note Type and Subject Title correct and titled?
  • Last but not least, is the Quality and the Alignment of the scan legible?  

As always, your attention to detail and compliance with this process are much appreciated. If you have questions, contact: Patti Bailey at jpbailey@anthc.org.
