Remote Scan Provides Scanning Software to Scan Directly into Many EMR Systems

RemoteScan Corporation today announced the release of RemoteScan Thin Scan, a software solution for using USB scanners directly with thin client devices. RemoteScan(TM) products lets end users scan directly into any hosted application, such as EMR, EHR (Electronic Medical Record and Electronic Health Record) and any document management software, from any scanner plugged into their own PC or thin client work station. RemoteScan is an alternative to custom FTP and folder based scanning solutions, and RemoteScan is a replacement of thick client scan stations.

“RemoteScan Thin Scan is the scanning solution for thin client users,” says Steve Saroff, company president. “RemoteScan is less expensive and more secure than what is commonly done in enterprise networks where customized software running on PCs is kludged together by software vendors and IT staff. RemoteScan is the alternative which replaces hack jobs.”

RemoteScan’s customers and strategic partners include Allscripts, NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, and hundreds of other EMR and EHR manufacturers. RemoteScan software is also purchased directly by banks, transportation and manufacturing companies. Facilities which have satellite offices or use virtualization, can use RemoteScan to let end users scan documents and ID cards without hassle.

“The RemoteScan advantage,” says Saroff, “allows companies and organizations who are using thin clients or virtualization to buy any software solution for their paperless office, document management, or EMR, and then use any off-the-shelve scanner without having to add a custom thick client scan station. HIPAA makes it imperative that scanning is done correctly. With RemoteScan, scans are into the actual patient record, and no scanned image is stored in a temporary file or folder.”

RemoteScan works with all versions of Windows Terminal Services, Citrix(R), XenDesktop(TM) and other VDI network environments. RemoteScan supports all RDP and ICA(R) protocol setups, and works with any scanner that has either TWAIN or WIA support.
