In this infographic, I make the case for scanned medical records as part of an integrated electronic patient records strategy. The numbers I have used (file sizes, sheet numbers) are for a typical medium to large NHS acute hospital. As part of a paperless strategy, scanning medical records brings the historical information into patients' electronic patient records. The process is now well established and modern electronic document records management systems have advanced search and annotation tools to simplify their use. The infographic can be downloaded from the link below.
