Case Study: NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership processes 30 million pages a year with ibml ImageTrac scanners

NHS Wales processes over 30 million pages a year on ibml scanners

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership needed to process over 30 million pages annually, including prescriptions, and sought to increase the intelligence and efficiency of its data capture while managing growing volumes. They selected ibml, working through their partner Kodak Alaris, to implement ImageTrac scanners and SoftTrac DocNetics software for a high-volume automated solution.

The implemented ibml solution enabled the processing of 20,000 prescriptions per hour, reading 2D barcodes on the fly for greater accuracy and operational efficiency. This resulted in vast cost and time savings, a reduced need for paper storage, and allowed the organization to leverage its investment to automate other critical functions. The transition was smooth, and the ibml equipment was noted for its accuracy in benchmarking tests and its ability to handle increasing volumes with minimal additional overhead.
