Over time Campbell sought the advice of numerous attorneys but was turned away each time.
(prHWY.com) June 20, 2012 - Seattle, WA -- It takes a lot to keep a medical practice running during this tough economy. A local Tulsa, Arizona father and son medical practice is looking to team up with a managed document review service to help keep the business afloat.
"Our medical practice has been around since my grandfather and his father", explained Dr. Sutton. "It was always a part of the family legacy to keep things going as far as medical practices were concerned. However, I didn't expect there to be so much dang paperwork involved."
Dr. Sutton & Dr. Sutton Jr. have accumulated the equivalency of over 8 tons of paperwork. This paperwork dates back to the early 1880s when the first Dr. Sutton arrived in the Oklahoma area. The paperwork has never been organized and many of the documents cannot be tossed due to legal purposes.
"We treat a lot of families", explained Dr. Sutton Jr. "There are a lot of people that come to our practice because their grandpa or grandma saw us. We like to keep those medical files on hand as it gives us a detailed look at the family history of the individual we are treating. We aren't just going off of some word of mouth deal."
The paperwork from so many families and patients has really started to weigh the business down. In fact, Dr. Sutton and Dr. Sutton Jr. believe it is even causing their business to slow down and not operate as efficiently as possible. That was when the managed review document services of "Check Your Docs" came in.
Check Your Docs is a local managed review document service that works with companies to digitalize and improve workflow. This company was able to come in and assess the 8 tons of paperwork the doctors have accumulated over the years and work to
transition it into a digitalized version.
"Our process is to take and scan every document into a digitalized system", explained the owner of Check Your Docs, Michael Swanson. "Digitalized documents are easier to organize and don't cause the extensive clutter that paper documents do. The father and son doctor team should be able to effective operate their business now."
The conversion process took over 2 months to convert all 8 tons of documents into digital format. Each paper had to be looked over for importance, sorted into categories and then scanned into the system.
"Most of our scanning processes take maybe a week, two at the most", explained Swanson. "But due to the extensive amount it took 2 months and we still have current documents to scan. It has to be a world record or something."
