Case Study
Digital files enhance child welfare
Birmingham Children’s Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, which handles 45,000 emergency attendances annually, struggled with complex paper‑based medical records that were difficult to manage, store, and retrieve quickly. Iron Mountain’s managed scanning and hosting software helped by digitizing emergency admission records and making them instantly accessible via a secure web portal, so clinicians could view complete electronic patient files at the point of care. This improved access to vital clinical information, strengthened child‑welfare safeguards, reduced delays, and boosted staff productivity by eliminating time‑consuming manual searches through paper files.
