Digitising medical records within an OASIS project chain

For Meander Medisch Centrum, 2dA delivered the digitisation around 2020-2022 within a wider OASIS project chain. Physical records became a usable digital foundation for further processing, management and access.

A case from 2dA practice, in cooperation with OASIS, with digitisation delivered by 2dA.

Project period

Around 2020-2022

Project context

OASIS Group case study; around 2020-2022, 2dA was involved as the digitisation party inside the project chain.

Starting point

Meander Medisch Centrum needed paper medical records to remain available while retention periods, storage costs and the move to a new hospital building changed the practical reality. The total volume was large: 666,000 medical records, around 7,000 metres of paper.

Approach

  • The broader project chain was organised around OASIS Group.
  • 2dA delivered the specialist digitisation work within that chain.
  • Records were scanned flat and made searchable with OCR at word level.
  • The digital result created a usable basis for retrieval, storage reduction and further access.

Result

  • Digital availability for a large medical-record environment
  • Searchable records, so staff could find information faster inside thick files
  • A stronger basis for storage-cost control and retention-period changes
  • A behind-the-scenes execution role where quality had to be transferable to the whole chain

Quote

“Together we completed a large digitisation project with a positive result.”

Hetty Snijders, Logistics FB team manager, Meander Medisch Centrum

Original quote in Dutch: “Samen hebben wij een groot digitaliseringsproject gedaan met een positief resultaat!”

What this case shows

Large healthcare digitisation does not only need a visible project structure. It also needs a reliable execution layer. This is where 2dA's role mattered: converting physical records into a digital foundation the rest of the process could build on.
