Case Study: Digitizing Patient Records & Artwork for a Special Needs Autism Organization

Case Study: Digitizing Patient Records & Artwork for a Special Needs Autism Organization

Overview

A local organization dedicated to supporting autistic children, teens, and pre-teens faced a major transition as they prepared to move to a new facility. With thousands of patient records and artwork documenting progress and therapy, they needed a secure, efficient, and organized way to transfer their essential files without the burden of transporting physical documents.

Our team stepped in to scan, digitize, and archive their patient records and artwork, helping them create a streamlined digital system that would improve accessibility, organization, and long-term preservation.

The Challenge

📌 Massive Volume of Records & Artwork – The organization had accumulated thousands of paper-based patient files and hand-drawn artwork that needed to be preserved as part of each child’s therapy and progress tracking.

📌 Major Facility Relocation – Moving to a new facility meant eliminating physical records, making digitization critical to ensure continuity of care and accessibility.

📌 Temporary Digital Storage Solution – The organization required remote access to patient files during the transition but planned to eventually manage their own records.

📌 Confidentiality & Compliance – With sensitive patient data, it was essential to ensure secure, HIPAA-compliant scanning and storage throughout the project.

Our Solution: Secure Scanning & Digital Archiving

✅ High-Resolution Document & Artwork Scanning – We meticulously scanned thousands of patient records and therapy artwork, converting them into searchable PDF files for easy retrieval and archiving.

✅ Remote Access During Transition – We provided the organization with a secure, interim digital repository, allowing staff to access files remotely while transitioning to their new facility.

✅ Master Drive for Permanent Storage – Once the move was complete, we delivered a fully indexed master drive containing all digitized records, allowing them to manage their own secure archive independently.

✅ HIPAA-Compliant Process – Our scanning and document handling followed strict security protocols, ensuring all patient data remained private and protected.

Results & Benefits

📌 Seamless Transition to the New Facility – By digitizing all records before the move, staff had instant access to patient files and artwork, eliminating disruptions to therapy sessions.

📌 Improved Organization & Record Management – The transition from paper to fully digital records streamlined patient progress tracking and reporting.

📌 Flexible & Scalable Data Access – The interim digital repository provided convenient access while they finalized their internal storage solution.

📌 Long-Term Digital Preservation – With a master drive, the organization now has full control over their records, ensuring continued secure access and retention.

📌 Cost & Space Savings – Eliminating thousands of paper files freed up office space, reduced storage costs, and made retrieval faster and more efficient.

Conclusion: A Successful Transition to a Digital Future

By digitizing their patient records and artwork, we helped this special needs autism organization transition smoothly and securely during their facility relocation. Our temporary digital storage solution ensured a seamless move, and our master drive delivery allowed them to take full control of their records long-term.
