Archiving software saves office space for primary care centres
The highlight of the Kendata Peripherals stand at this year’s
NAPC exhibition was the latest version of the Southampton based
company’s DCAM archiving software module, which eliminates the
need for primary care centres to store thousands of paper-based
documents.
Designed to operate as part of Kendata’s Information Archive
Server system, the DCAM module frees up valuable office storage
space by offering a simple and cost-effective means of filing,
searching and rapidly retrieving patient documentation.
DCAM provides specially developed input screens to suit the
needs of primary care centres, resulting in an intuitive archiving
system that incorporates features normally only found on significantly
higher priced products.
As documents are scanned, DCAM allows the user to allocate
a reference to each image, together with searchable notes. An
OCR option enables the referencing to be carried out automatically.
All information is then stored with a record of the time and
date of scanning, which simplifies retrieval and allows for
later audit, ensuring that the highest integrity is maintained.
Standard browser-based retrieval reduces installation time
and keeps training to a minimum, with documents being easily
viewable on PCs, Macs and other platforms.
The DCAM software indicates when an archive CD needs to be
written and automatically creates two CDs — one master and one
copy for storing off-site.
