Cumberland County Prothonotary David Buell announced a new e-filing system Wednesday aimed at saving taxpayers time and money.

The new system allows attorneys and the public to file and view case documents from their home or office computers. Buell said the innovation transforms his office from an 8-hour, 5-days-a-week service into a 24/7 operation.

“It’s not that we don’t want you to come to the courthouse, because we enjoy serving you, but this system will allow you to do business with us 24/7, saving you time, money and gas,” he said.

Paperless Solutions, based in Bensalem, designed the new e-file system and has specialized in document management solutions for 14 years.

“I wanted to be confident that the solution we chose would be easy to use, both for case search and for e-filing,” Buell said. “This system has proven success in other counties in the state and will ensure that we are providing the best, most cost-effective customer service that we can.”

Buell said during a news conference Wednesday the cost of the new system does not impact the general fund — costing taxpayers virtually nothing.

Buell said the new system was part of his three-step plan to enhance the prothonotary’s office with technology and innovation. Elected to his fourth term in 2009, Buell and his staff have updated office policy and procedure, improved PFA processing, access and archiving of public records and naturalization and passport photo availability.

Buell said he anticipates the launch date for the new system will occur within 4-6 months.

Paperless Trending Industry - Healthcare

Paperless Trending Industry - Healthcare

Did you know that legislators are pushing for Paperless Systems in Healthcare?

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, included new funding for Health Information Technology (HIT). A significant portion ($17 billion) of the funding for HIT will support incentives for physicians who have adopted Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Eligible professionals who treat outpatient Medicare patients and demonstrate that they are using a "certified" EHR in a "meaningful" way can earn incentive payments totaling up to $44,000 (per physician) over 5 years. Starting in 2015, Medicare reimbursement rates will be reduced 1% for physicians who do not meet this requirement. Physicians who treat Medicaid patients and demonstrate that they are using an EHR will be eligible for incentive payments totaling up to $63,750 (per physician) over 6 years. Funding is also available to encourage hospitals to adopt EHRs.

To obtain the full incentive, physicians must begin participation in the Medicare incentive program in 2011 or 2012. The amount of the incentive is reduced when participation starts after 2012, and the last year to begin participation and earn an incentive is 2014. The Medicaid incentive program started in 2010 and runs through 2021. Physicians do not need to demonstrate meaningful use in the first year of the Medicaid program, but rather demonstrate efforts to adopt, implement, or upgrade to a certified EHR.

WSJ Big Data - Paperless Technologies & Software

The WSJ posted an article today on "Big Data".

These are two of the most interesting quotes about the new trend on "Big Data" according to The Wall Street Journal:

"The use of data and analytics in general is going to be a basis of competition going forward for individual firms, for sectors and even for countries. Those companies that are able to use data effectively are more likely to win in the marketplace."

"That data is often used just to troubleshoot problems, but you can do a whole lot more with it—it is a categorical record of everything that has happened."

With the Paperless Technologies that we sell, we already know that Data is huge:

- want to know what employees are most effective at a task? 
- who isn't doing their fair share of the work?
- want to see peak times of your staff and also lag times?
- want to evaluate trends quickly so you can respond quickly?
And much, much more--  it just depends on the nature of your business.

Call us today if you want to know more about how accessing, reporting and using your data can help grow your revenues, cut costs and make you more competitive.

Jon Gordon -The Power of Thank You - Article excerpts

Jon Gordon -The Power of Thank You - Article excerpts

In the spirit of Thanksgiving I'd love to share with you the benefits and power of two simple words. THANK YOU.
They are two words that have the power to transform our health, happiness, and success. Research shows that grateful people are happier and more likely to maintain good friendships. 
Gratitude and appreciation are also essential for

 a healthy work environment. Gratitude is like muscle. The more we do with it the stronger it gets. In this spirit here are 4 ways to practice Thanksgiving every day of the year.
1. Take a Daily Thank You Walk -Take a simple 10-minute walk each day and say out loud what you are thankful for.
2. Meal Time Thank You's - At dinner with your friends and family, go around the table and have each person, say what they are thankful for.
3. Gratitude Letter - Write a letter expressing gratitude to someone.
4. Say Thank You at Work – Energize and engage your co-workers and team by letting them know you are grateful for them and their work. And of course don’t forget to say thank you to your clients and customers too.
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Thank you to all Paperless Solutions staff and Customers - Happy Thanksgiving!

How to make sure your battery on your mobile device lasts

Paperless Solutions LOVES mobile devices!!!! 
As our favorite software, OnBase can run on iPhones, iPads Blackberry, and Android Devices, we thought these tips were very helpful:

How to make sure your mobile device lasts the longest during the times when you need it the most:

1) Close ALL your open apps

2) Use “Airplane mode”: Once you’re done talking for the night and don't need to be reached,

 switch your phone to “Airplane mode” during the quiet time in between (ideal time would be at night when everyone is sleeping). Doing this turns off all cell, data, GPS, Bluetooth, and WiFI capabilities.

3) Set your phone to ring, not vibrate: It takes more out of your battery to make the phone vibrate than it does to make it ring.

4) Tone down your screen brightness: The brighter your screen is, the more quickly the battery gets drained.

5) Turn off your data: If you’re not planning to Google movie times or check your email—or you don’t even have access to the Internet—turn your phone’s cellular data network off.

6) Turn off all unnecessary functions: No access to WiFi? Turn it off. Not traveling? Turn off the phone’s GPS. Not driving? You don’t need BlueTooth to be on. The less programs you have running, the longer it’ll last.

7) Turn off updates: Is your phone set up to receive Facebook updates, email notifications, Foursquare check-ins, and more? Turn them off — your phone is checking in on these sites for updates on a recurrent schedule and draining its battery in the process.

Now, let’s say your phone is on its last leg and you need to give it a quick charge. Here are a few ways that you can charge it without access to power in your home:

1) Go to a public place that has power: Could be a store, restaurant, bank . . . ask to use one of their outlets

2) Use your car charger: If your car battery isn’t on its last leg, start it up and let your phone sit there charging for 15 minutes or so. Better yet, plug it in and make your calls / text messages from the car while it’s charging so that the phone usage is a wash.

3) Use your laptop’s battery: Does your laptop still have some charge to it? Plug your phone in through the USB drive and get a quick charge that way.

Policy & Procedure Administration / DKT

Here is something for you HR, Manufacturing & Healthcare workers out there - a way to ensure that all employees are able to read, acknowledge and always find the most updated policies in your company.
Hyland calls it DKT or Document Knowledge Transfer and it streamlines your Policy and Procedure Process.
The Document Knowledge Transfer (DKT) (12) module enables organizations to rapidly distribute required reading documents to an entire employee workforce and easily audit reading compliance for legal, regulatory or educational purposes. DKT ensures all employee users are provided with the correct versions of all required documents and that deadlines for document reviews and acknowledgements are enforced.

• Human Resources: Employee handbooks and information security policies are automatically distributed to all employees required to review and acknowledge the information. Newly hired employees are provided with immediate access to the complete backlog of mandatory reading.

• Manufacturing: Distribute, record acknowledgement, and report reading compliance on material safety data sheets, operating procedures and other documents, in order to meet ISO-9000 and other requirements.

• Hospitals and Clinics: Technicians are notified of changes in policy and procedures and can review them. If the recommended methodology for a specific machine changes, any technician affected will be presented with a document to read and acknowledge. That acknowledgement can be tracked by user or by document.
