Healthcare · Use-Case

Digitizing the clinical mailroom and legacy records.

The process today

One mailroom, thousands of documents, in every format.

The clinical mailroom and paper archives mix admission letters, discharge summaries, nursing reports, and administrative correspondence with no visible structure. Handwritten notes, faxes, and poor-quality scans today have to be manually reviewed, matched to the right patient, and filed before they're available in the HIS.

Frequently asked

Mailroom and legacy records, answered briefly.

What belongs to the clinical mailroom Parashift handles?

Referrals, physician reports, findings, payer correspondence, invoices and administrative post. All in one intake, whatever the channel and format.

Can legacy records and archive holdings be digitised too?

Yes. Scanned legacy files are separated into individual documents, classified and indexed with patient, date and document type so they can be found in the archive.

How are multi-page stacks separated into individual documents?

Parashift detects document boundaries by content, not through separator sheets or barcodes. A stack of twenty mixed pages is split into the documents it contains.

Does this work with fax, poor scans and handwriting?

Yes. Fax quality, skewed pages and handwritten additions are the norm in a clinical mailroom and are part of the processing.

How does the result reach the HIS, EMR or practice system?

Through the API or HL7, as a document with metadata for filing. Imaging holdings stay in their own systems, Parashift indexes the documents that belong to them.

How long does implementation take?

A few weeks for the running mailroom. A legacy archive then runs alongside as batch processing, without blocking day-to-day operations.
