Managing Your Records with Smart Shelf Platform using Radio Identification Tags
In this session we will describe the application of an old technology applied in new and insightful ways. Our speaker Gene Hickok will describe the processes used in understanding the user requirements, the RFID technology being used to meet those requirements and the success to date in melding this technology to solve the age-old problem of lost and/or misfiled records. In this case study we will explore ways in which this technology can be used to both automate and streamline your business processes, provide integrity to your system by eliminating duplicates, establish a historical chain of custody files, and many other benefits. The first implementation includes a revolutionary way to track medical records using the Smart Shelf Platform. Today we track medical records but let your mind be open to the idea of tracking any high value asset that can be placed on a shelf.

Electronic Archiving - The Way Forward
Most of us are familiar with the basic concept for controlling inactive records at an off-site storage location. Boxes of records are indexed, a retention period is assigned and information can be retrieved within a reasonable time frame. However, electronic records seem to fall off the control chart when they reach the inactive stage of their life cycle which is becoming a greater challenge everyday.
This session will look at some of the work habits found in a normal office that impede better control of electronic records. It will also cover some of the problems associated with maintaining electronic records; take a look at an electronic archives concept model for solving this problem; and ways of protecting electronic records until a technology solution can be put in place.
In reality there is no good answer to the challenge of creating an electronic archives today, however, doing nothing in not an option. Plan to attend this fast moving session and bring your questions and comments. By sharing we can all learn.
