Over 30 years in the Health Record Industry
Since 1981, Cardone Record Services, Inc. (CRS) has been successfully providing healthcare facilities nationwide with cost-effective, innovative solutions for managing health records. We have seen numerous changes in the health information management (HIM) field. The transition of the Medical Record departments to HIM departments incorporates all phases of records management from paper to microfilm, then from paper to digital, and now fully electronic. Throughout all of these changes, CRS evolved alongside your HIM department providing the professional services to assist in all stages of these transitions.

Whether you are in the transition or considered totally electronic, paper still plays a role in the everyday processing of PHI. Outside sources continue to send paper PHI, archived records are in paper format, and in many places, paper is still being generated by the healthcare facility. This all creates a hybrid environment. To deal with this and incorporate paper into the EHR one must digitize these documents. This process can be an arduous task. This is expensive and time-consuming, but necessary for a complete EHR.
Today CRS applies a unique combination of specialized expertise in health information management, document imaging services and advanced technologies to create customized solutions that suit any healthcare facility’s document conversion needs. CRS can be an affordable alternative to your in-house processes whether your facility is heavily relying on paper systems; maintaining a hybrid environment (paper and electronic); in the process of converting to electronic records; or currently utilizing an EHR system.
