(tool) SDS - Schema Definition Set. for On-Site Conversion of Their Medical Records ALPHARETTA, Ga. -- In August 2006, key facilities in Bon Secours Richmond Health System signed a contract with SDS for on-site conversion of their medical records. In February 2007, because of Bon Secours' satisfaction with the service being provided by SDS, the contract with SDS was renewed. During this ongoing project, SDS is responsible for prepping, scanning, auditing, and archiving paper records into a permanent electronic record. Currently, SDS provides conversion services for the following Bon Secours facilities: * Memorial Regional Medical Center * Richmond Community Hospital Bon Secours and SDS have had a long and successful history together. Prior to the on-site conversion project, Bon Secours had effectively outsourced its ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). process to SDS and has seen many positive improvements from this partnership. Because of this past relationship and the company's competitive pricing, Bon Secours chose SDS over another competitor for their extensive conversion project. To ensure that SDS's conversion technology would work seamlessly with their EMR (ElectroMagnetic Radiation) The emanation of energy from everything in the universe. Although the EMR from electrical and electronic devices is typically measured for practical, every-day situations, every object, including humans, emanates energy. , Bon Secours asked the EMR vendor, SoftMed, to review all of SDS's technology related to their on-site conversion. After a thorough review, SoftMed found SDS to be fully compliant with the EMR system. In addition to perfect technological compatibility, SDS's conversion process also operated seamlessly with the health system's workflows. In fact, SDS's intuitive methods fit in so well with Bon Secours' business processes that there were absolutely no interruptions during the transition process. This proved to be an important deciding factor for Bon Secours in renewing their contract with SDS.
