The ScanSnap fi-6010N iScanner offers a number of third party solutions from Fujitsu’s technology partners, which are built with the optional Software Developer’s Kit (SDK).  When the development staff at OsmosyzTM analyzed the available choices for the creation of a universal platform for scanning and indexing, there were options but none compared to the ScanSnap fi-6010N iScanner.

Using the SDK, we created the InofileTM platform, which can be integrated into any document repository improving the workflow within an organization.  Distributed capture enhances the exchange and delivery of documents between departments, within the healthcare or legal communities, on a campus or between branch and home office locations.

Once customized for a software partner’s system, Inofile can be connected to any Enterprise Content Management (ECM) repositories, Electronic Medical Records (EMR/EHR) systems, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, or other third-party Line of Business (LOB) applications, in a matter of days.

The Inofile interface on the iScanner allows the user to scan a batch of documents, perform quality check of the documents on the touch screen, index the documents using the full keyboard, and upload the documents to the content repository.

The Inofile connectors communicate with the customer’s database to present a dynamic experience showing current fields and pull down lists, performing lookups to the LOB database for accurate indexing and increased efficiency.

In the healthcare industry, this is especially useful for EMR/EHR vendors and their customers (physicians and hospitals).  A document is received from a lab or patient and needs to be scanned and stored in the patient’s electronic chart.  The user logs into Inofile on the ScanSnap fi-6010N iScanner, scans the batch of documents and indexes them quickly for immediate retrieval by a clinician.

Using the built in key board and touch screen, the user can associate the document with a patient, visit date and/or an order in the EMR/EHR.

Clinicians and IT support groups also appreciate the ease of use of the Inofile interface on the iScanner.  The documents are uploaded to the individual patient charts and/or workflow within the EMR/EHR and the paper documents are placed in the shred box located next to the scan station.  The security features of the iScanner and the encryption of the images also create a HIPAA compliant chain of custody far superior to walking around the office with a handful of paper.
