Medical Case Study
When Jim Bergeron of JPI Data Resource met with Bonnie Loker, Billing
Manager of Thibodaux Regional Medical Center (TRMC), she and the
billing staff were drowning in paper. EOBs and patient insurance cards
were overflowing from boxes in the billing office. With no means of
storing or sorting these documents, valuable time and energy were wasted
sifting through the paper. It was luck to find the needed documents to
process a claim.
With a high-speed Canon Scanner and the LaserFiche Document Imaging
solution from JPI, the billing staff simply used their workstations to search
thousands of documents and retrieve the exact paper they needed. All 20
staff members were trained and using LaserFiche in a matter of days.
Now in a matter of seconds multiple people can access all paper documents,
find the one they need and then forward it with a claim via e-mail all
without leaving their desks. The best part is that we added two more desks in
the place where all the files used to sit. We truly are paperless.

The Hospital plans to roll out more than a hundred users in various departments to include
medical records, H.R. patient services, and admitting. It is hard to measure the overall increase
in productivity, but it is certain that billing staff now works on billing and not searching for
missing or lost patient files.
