Understanding digitisation of paper healthcare and clinical records.
What are medical records?
They can include paper case files, correspondence, forms, reports and other patient-related documentation.
Why is secure handling important?
Healthcare records can contain sensitive personal information and therefore require controlled access and secure project arrangements.
Can mixed-size records be scanned?
Yes, subject to preparation and appropriate equipment.
Can OCR be used?
Yes, where suitable, although OCR should be treated as a search aid rather than a replacement for the page image.
Oxford Duplication Centre — Practical Expertise
Document digitisation should be designed around the physical characteristics and information requirements of the source records. Where documents are fragile, bound, oversized or otherwise unusual, specialist capture methods are preferable to forcing them through standard production equipment.
