Abstract/OtherAbstract:
By combining bar code scanning technology with computer-assisted record retrieval technology, St. Vincent Hospital and Healthcare Center in Indianapolis, Ind., has automated its patient financial records management operation. In the process, the hospital has not only streamlined its account management process, but has also reduced labor and storage costs and improved access to patient information.
