Electronic document management
Nuffield Hospitals network chooses Version One
Nuffield Hospitals, the UK's longest-standing group of independent
hospitals, is currently implementing a new Version One electronic form
design, automated document delivery and electronic payment system across
all 40 of its hospitals.The system, which will enable documents to be emailed out or
automatically sent to a recipient’s fax machine at the touch of a
button, will replace Nuffield’s manual processes, which involve signing
and posting cheques with hard-copy remittance advices and printing-out
and faxing purchase orders. With Version One systems in place, the group
expects to cut printing, stationery and postage costs dramatically.
"We identified the need for electronic document-management
technologies that could tightly integrate into our new procurement and
finance system, further streamlining our processes and saving us time
and money", said Matt Oxley, Associate Director, Pro-curement and
Property, from Nuffield Hospitals. "The savings of time will allow
skilled staff to be redeployed so that they can focus on activities
where they can really add value."
