It seems faintly un-American to rely on the U.S. government as the main source of revenue for private businesses, but such is the state of the economy in early 2009. Government spending is filling the void left by crushingly slow private enterprise spending.
The Wall Street Journal this morning outlined some details of President Obama's healthcare plan, and these details favor the notion of tremendous government spending flowing towards document imaging service companies.
According to the WSJ, President Obama plans to pay for his total overhaul of the U.S. healthcare system in two main ways: one, tax increases on wealthy people; and two, cost savings in the health care industry itself.
Document imaging can help provide the second (and, for many folks, more palatable) part of that equation. In fact, document imaging technology may actually form the foundation from which many other cost saving systems are created.
Document imaging, after all, is the means by which the millions upon millions of pages of important paperwork can join the digital world.
Once medical records have joined the digital world, they should be able to move, share, and give much more to the health care system and its patients, at a lower cost.
That's what the digital world has done for every other part of the world, at least.
