BTW, this is my last thread in the 6 part Blog of a Newbie series. I debated w/ Bert calling this thread Blog of a Newbie. I'm #6 top poster on the boards (not bragging just stating fact) and I've pretty much figured out the ins and outs of AC. I'm going to the ACUC in June. All of our charts are scanned in. No I'm not a Newbie any longer.
The only money it cost me to scan the charts was $400 for a ScanSnap, $125 for added RAM to my Muratec all-in-one scanner/printer/fax/copy. Technically, I used staff time to do all the work. I could put that into dollars, however I'm paying them to be there whether they work or not. There was NO OVERTIME paid in thise endeavor.
But here is staff time: 40hr/wk x 16 wks x $12/hr avg salary = $7,680. Not bad, considering paper storage fees can exceed this over 7-10 years. Plus that freed space has some monetary worth, does it?
Therefore, I am retiring this thread on a positive note. I could be considered an Advanced AC User now.
