Rainy,
I'm with you. One of the reasons we haven't moved forward with scanning in hugh amounts of our paper, is because I was wanting some clearer advice and leadership. It would be a shame to waste all that time scanning in all these old files, tests and reports in an incorrect or less than Ideal fashion. My questions are also about HIPAA issues and the "locking-in" of these e documents for saftey sakes. So which is better, TIFF or PDF. PDF sure seems to be a real standard that is catching on, but which of the many fashions is best for security, portability, universality, sharing and all the other possible other reasons to choose one format over another. We users out here shouldn't have to re-invent the wheel every time a new practice or provider joins the AC fold...some well documented instructions and recommendations would be most apperciated....I gather as the folks developing the software they should be on top of a number of the reasons behind these choices....
