The Vendor is required to provide information from qualified vendors regarding unified 3rd party document management systems.
- The new solution must support document storage, indexing, retrieval, retention compliance, system integrations, and historical data migration.
- Requirements vary by department but share common needs around metadata management, search, OCR, and secure access.
- Document Storage & Retrieval
• Ability to store diverse document types (HR, financial, patient-related, enrollment packets, AP/PO docs, etc.).
• Retrieve documents via multiple identifiers including:
o Employee ID
o Medical Record Number (MRN)
o HAR number
o Case number
o Batch number
o First/Last Name
o Document type
• Support for individualized document indexing rather than bulk “packet-level” indexing.
- Indexing & Metadata
• Robust metadata configuration with department specific fields.
• Ability to index by:
o Employee details
o Patient identifiers
o Financial references (claim number, batch number, PO number)
o Case identifiers
• Metadata lookup functionality for advanced search and filtering.
• Support routing based on indexed fields (e.g., work queues in Revenue Cycle).
- OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
• Ability to convert images to readable/searchable text.
• System should support OCR for both standard and non-standard document formats.
• Require OCR for:
o HR documents
o Enrollment documents
o Revenue Cycle documents
• Not required for Nurse Family Partnership (NFP).
- Reporting & Audit
• Reporting needs vary, but common requirements include:
o Productivity tracking (Revenue Cycle)
o Ability to print all or subset of record folders (HR)
o Historical document access reporting
o Retention audit verification
• Access expiration/limited time “view-only” access for employees or managers (HR).
- Workflows & Work Queues
• Routing documents to teams based on type (Revenue Cycle).
• Capture document status within workflow (e.g., indexed, pending review, completed).
- Data Retention
• HR: 5–10 years; some permanent.
• Revenue Cycle/Billing: 7–10 years.
• Enrollment: 7 years post-case closure.
• Accounts Payable: 10–15 years (invoices for fixed assets – permanent).
• Purchasing: 10 years for purchase orders.
• HR Benefits: Indefinite retention recommended (medical, life insurance docs).
• NFP: 3 years for enrollment packets.
• COSH: Records pre 2016 must be migrated for compliance.
- Data Migration Requirements
• Full migration of historical documents from OnBase for in-scope areas.
• Approximate number of documents is 65 million.
• Approximate size of documents is 2 TB.
• Potential bifurcation:
o Active employee records → Workday (HR Benefits)
o Historical records → New document management system
• Some opportunities to migrate to Epic Gallery where appropriate (patient-linked documents).
