R2M Implementation... WEEK 4

Ok actually it's week 3 but on Monday it will be week 4. When i first started as their temporary Medical Records Clerk (NOT FILE CLERK... and yes i'm talking to you Logan) it was really overwhelming. There was records in boxes in every nook and cranny in my office. Look at the picture to the left... this was the end result of 3 weeks of sorting and cleaning the office... All the papers you see needs to be put into the clients file folders which are all against the wall. ONE SHEET for ONE CLIENT... It takes time to grab a sheet, look for the clients file folder, make sure that the file is in order, attach the record, and put it back into the shelve. Atleast 2 minutes per ONE SHEET of paper... AND DO YOU SEE THOSE STACKS? It's gonna take forever for us to get everything current... Thats not including all the incoming new client, file request. status reports from other agencies, phone calls... you get my point... So the division invested into this new records management program called "R2M". So instead of doing the process of putting those sheets of paper into the clients folders, you now scan the sheet, index it and it goes to a virtual client file folder. NO PAPER, NO CLIENT FILE FOLDERS! The scanner that they purchased, which is pictured to the right, is worth more than my repoed Suzuki Reno, actually 2 of em. I think it said that it can handle 800 sheets per minute... WAIT, that can't be right... 13.33 pages a second? Don't quote me... Anyhows, we still haven't been able to start yet and we were suppose to be done within 2 weeks. Not really sure what the hold up is or maybe it was because I was out a few days... IDK but I think we are finally on our way to a paperless record system. In addition to transitioning our files out, we also had to clean everything out of the office. My office desk got stripped down to bare bones... I was told that nothing personal is to be on the desk... WTF... So I took out Logans picture and put in on my desk... Waiting for someone to tell me that I can't have his pcture on there. I seriously doubt anyone is going to ask me to take his picture down. As you can see his picture is just to the left of my printer. Just to be an asshole (yes, I called myself that), I'm going to put his picture on top of the scanner next week. This is going to be fun. Well, it looks like i'm going to be putting in alot of comp time this coming week, and heavens knows I need a much as I can get. I got an upcoming performance and I will need those days off. FYI, I am still hurting from that pep flag slip I had the other day... but that's for a different blog...
