Dr. Thomas Keane is a board certified oral surgeon and head of Esthesia Oral Surgery Care. Dr. Keane had been hoping to get all of his patient records digitized for quite a while. He also was well aware that the HIPAA compliance deadline was coming.

 

Esthesia Oral Surgery Care had been utilizing Solbrekk for IT network support for several years. Dr. Keane consulted with Larry Phelps, Solbrekk VP of Sales. Solbrekk implemented a Laserfiche document imaging and management solution for them. The staff scanned all patient records, files, and forms into a central repository, where they are available instantly through a keyword or phrase search.

 

While many in the healthcare industry were scurrying to make the HIPAA deadline, Esthesia Oral Surgery Care was already HIPAA compliant.  Dr. Keane said, "We are trying to be a totally digital office, and this brings us closer to our goal. The next step will be to make patient charts accessible online from any room in our practice."
