Relying on paper-based systems for managing patient records is quickly becoming a thing of the past. These outdated methods slow down access to vital information, increase the risk of data breaches, and make regulatory compliance a constant challenge. The landscape is rapidly changing—by 2021, a remarkable 78% of office-based physicians and 96% of non-federal acute care hospitals in the U.S. had transitioned to certified electronic health record (EHR) systems. This is a dramatic leap from 2011, when less than a third of healthcare providers had embraced digital records. This shift highlights the urgent need for healthcare providers to scan and digitize patient records, ensuring they stay ahead in an increasingly digital world.
