BÖWE BELL + HOWELL Makes Scanning Long Documents Easier for Healthcare and Other Organizations
Companies can now digitize documents of unlimited length easily and reliably thanks to an enhancement to BÖWE BELL + HOWELL’s Trūper Series scanners.
BBH developed long document handling for its low-volume production scanners to allow organizations to convert vital long documents — such as fetal monitoring strips, electrocardiograms (EKG) and well logs — into sharp electronic images. The technology eliminates the labor-intensive process of cutting long documents into measured sections or mounting them on standard size sheets prior to scanning.
Trūper scanners include long document scanning as a standard, "user-selectable" feature. In other words, users can easily activate the technology through the scanner's interface without help from an IT professional.
Truper's ability to scan a wide range of document sizes coupled with its small footprint make it an appealing option for any office environment.
Trūper's ability to scan long documents helps medical professionals manage their records
The healthcare industry faces many regulations for the management of medical records. EKGs and other long documents can make compliance more complicated. Now Trūper lets organizations easily scan documents that are hundreds, or even thousands, of feet without interruption.
The reduction in pre-scan preparation time can save hospitals a lot of money.
Each day hospitals administer EKGs and monitor fetuses in their final term. These tests can generate up to a thousand feet or more of paper records for each patient. Healthcare providers need an easy, low-cost way to preserve the records of these patients' health. With long document scanning, we have helped guarantee that recordkeeping is complete and painless, including the preservation of crucial EKG and fetal monitor printouts.
With long document scanning activated Trūper scanners can switch easily between long document and regular page length modes. For instance, a hospital scanner operator can alternate scanning fetal monitoring strips with HCFA forms without making manual adjustments to scanner values or drivers.
All Trūper scanners shipped after September 30, 2007, include long document handling. Existing Trūper owners who wish to upgrade can contact their authorized service provider to install long document handling firmware.
