CareTech's iDoc(TM) Document Imaging Solution to Manage Student Records at
Detroit's Marygrove College
Document Imaging Solution to Facilitate Paper-to-Electronic Transition in
Academic Environment
TROY, Mich., Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- CareTech Solutions, Inc.
(www.caretechsolutions.com), an information technology (IT) and Web products
and services provider for hospitals and health systems nationwide, announced
today that Marygrove College of Detroit, Mich. will use CareTech's iDoc((TM))
document imaging and management solution to help manage student records.
iDoc is a full-featured, Web-based document imaging and management system with
workflow tools that securely stores, manages, retrieves and distributes
digital and electronic documents in a fully customizable format, and offers
secure electronic-signature capabilities anywhere there is Internet access.
"In transitioning to electronic student records, we've sought to eliminate the
expense of a paper-based system and streamline the records-management process
at the same time," said Bill Johnson, vice president of finance and
administration for Marygrove College. "iDoc will provide immediate and
secure access to information and help our staff quickly and easily provide the
information our students need."
Traditionally deployed in hospitals, Marygrove College is the second academic
institution to use CareTech's iDoc product, the first being Walsh College of
Troy, Mich. Leslie Mack, senior director of CareTech Solutions' iDoc delivery
division, says iDoc's functionality easily translates to the academic
environment.
"Whether in a hospital or an academic institution, the challenges associated
with managing information between the two groups are markedly similar, and
we're delighted to count Marygrove College as the second academic institution
to manage the paper-to-electronic transition using CareTech's iDoc solution,"
said Mack. "Just as iDoc is used in health information management, financial
services and registration settings to manage confidential patient information,
it's also a great fit in academic environments for student records, financial
aid and development information, as well as human resources, accounts
payable, and contracts and materials management."
CareTech Solutions' implementation of the first phase of iDoc at Marygrove
College is expected to be complete in mid-September. Other phases will
include procurement, accounts payable and human resources.
