Case Study: Hamilton Health Sciences digitizes patient records with Octacom

Hamilton Health Sciences - Customer Case Study

Hamilton Health Sciences, a major regional healthcare provider, faced the immense challenge of transitioning its vast quantity of paper-based patient records into a comprehensive digital system. The hospital lacked the internal resources and expertise to manage the scanning, indexing, and integration of these documents alongside developing its new electronic records. They partnered with Octacom to outsource these non-core processes and leverage their document management services, requiring no capital investment.

Octacom implemented a solution that digitized over 100 million pages, with a daily conversion rate of 30,000 pages, and integrated them with electronic records to create a single, accessible digital repository. This allowed 6,000 staff members to work in a fully electronic environment. The results for Hamilton Health Sciences were transformative, saving millions in operating costs, freeing up clinical space, and enabling coders to work remotely. The success of this project led to Octacom providing similar solutions for numerous other healthcare organizations in the region.
