Case Study: Leading Multispeciality Healthcare Group boosts EHR digitisation with Kodak Alaris scanners

Kodak Alaris and Nisarga IT Solutions enable leading healthcare provider to create Electronic Health Records

a leading multispeciality healthcare group in India was struggling with an inefficient, manual process for digitizing patient records into Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Their legacy entry-level scanners were slow and lacked intelligent features, requiring staff to manually sort pages and use a separate handheld device to scan patient ID barcodes. This created a significant and growing backlog of records, preventing the group from meeting its digital goals and government standards for issuing digital records within 72 hours. They turned to vendor Kodak Alaris and its partner for a solution.

Kodak Alaris implemented its S2050 Scanner, which automated the end-to-end workflow. Key features like Intelligent Barcode Reading eliminated the need for a separate handheld device, while Active Feed and Intelligent Document Protection technologies streamlined preparation and prevented paper jams. The solution delivered a more than three-fold increase in productivity, from 10-15 to 50 files processed per scanner daily, and allowed the healthcare group to redeploy staff, reducing the number of operators per scanner from two to one. Kodak Alaris provided a scalable solution that significantly boosted efficiency and eliminated the document backlog.
