FAQs

How Does Medical Document Scanning Improve Patient Care?

Digitising medical records significantly enhances patient care by enabling quick and secure access to patient files. Healthcare providers can view patient history, diagnosis reports, and treatment plans instantly, resulting in faster, more informed decisions. Digital records also minimise errors associated with manual paper records, ensuring better accuracy in patient management and improving overall service quality.

Are Digitised Medical Records Legally Admissible?

Yes, scanned documents are fully admissible in legal settings, provided they comply with established standards. Our medical records scanning service ensures all digitised records are scanned and stored according to the Data Protection Act, ensuring their legal admissibility. This means healthcare organisations can confidently replace physical medical records with digital records without concern about regulatory compliance.

How Secure is Your Medical Record Scanning Service?

Data security is our top priority. DAAS follows strict data protection measures to protect sensitive patient information against unauthorised access. All scanned documents are securely stored and encrypted. Access is strictly controlled, and we regularly audit our procedures to maintain compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations. With secure document storage options, healthcare professionals can trust that confidential information remains safe throughout the digitisation process.

What Happens to Physical Medical Records After Scanning?

After scanning medical records, we offer several secure options for handling the physical copies. Depending on your preference, records can be returned, securely stored in our high-security document storage facility, or securely destroyed through certified shredding services. Secure destruction ensures sensitive patient records cannot be reconstructed or accessed again, freeing up valuable space and helping GP practices and dental practices remain organised and compliant.

Can Digitised Records Be Uploaded to Our Clinical System?

Absolutely. Our digital files are fully compatible for clinical system upload, allowing easy integration with your existing document management system. Healthcare digitisation simplifies document management and helps records managers easily handle patient data, respond efficiently to subject access requests, and support a responsive health service. Whether you’re managing GP records, dental records, or microfilm records, digitised records streamline administrative tasks, saving time and enhancing efficiency.

How Does DAAS Ensure Quality in the Digitisation Process?

Our medical records scanning service includes a rigorous quality control process to ensure the highest standards are consistently met. Each scanned document undergoes multiple checks for clarity, accuracy, and completeness before being delivered. Our advanced scanning equipment captures every detail, ensuring that important documents remain easily readable. This thoughtful approach means healthcare organisations receive consistently reliable, high-quality digital records.
