OCR (Optical Character Recognition)

Arming your enterprise with the tools necessary to process paper efficiently and accurately with minimal FTE intervention, SSI's OCR solution give users the ability to automatically scan, sort, batch, extract data, index, route and store all business forms passing through an enterprise. OCR makes it possible to scan a structured/static or unstructured/dynamic document and extract required information to perform a given task, such as indexing and routing. "Dynamic" documents, such as paper remits, invoices and medical records, never have the same layout twice, rendering the standard template approach to forms processing useless. ClickON® OCR technology uses an "intelligent script" to read each document and identify each data item needed for further processing. Dynamic document processing is revolutionizing the document and data capture industry. Users are being liberated from the chores of locating and entering data from documents such as invoices, remittance advices, bills, listings, etc.

Perhaps the most common data entry challenges facing the business office are EOBs and remittance advices. These documents often contain information pertaining to multiple patients, and are hundreds of pages long. Also it's common to receive single page payments for one patient that may be hundreds of different formats. This creates a laborious manual posting procedure, which is error-prone and can also delay secondary billing by days. But with SSI's DocAgent application, healthcare providers can process virtually any multi-page bulk remit, regardless of layout. This unique document capture system uses OCR and Intelligent Scripting for bulk remits and Universal Scripting (1 script for 1 page EOBs) to accurately locate and extract data.

Implementing SSI's OCR solution can result in immediate saving on labor costs, a reduction in operating expenses, improved cashflow, a rapid return on your technology investment, increased productivity, improved customer service and an overall work process improvement.
