Content Management (ECM) Solution!
ECM is an
umbrella for document management, web content management, search ,
collaboration, records management, digital asset management (DAM), work-flow
management, capture and scanning.
ECM is primarily aimed at managing the
life-cycle of information from initial publication or creation all the way
through archival and eventually disposal.
ECM applications are delivered in
three ways: on-premise software (installed on the organization’s own network), Software as a Service (SaaS) (web access to
information that is stored on the software manufacturer’s system)
ECM aims to
make the management of corporate information easier through simplifying
storage, security, version control, process routing, and retention. The
benefits to an organization include improved efficiency, better control, and
reduced costs. Unable to contact the warehouse to have someone locate the right
box and medical record file.
With an ECM system in place, the hospital staff simply
searches the system for the patient account number and the number of the
requested medical record folder. When the image of the medical record file appears
on screen, they are able to immediately print or review the information usually
while the patient is in the room.
