Melken Solutions Approved as Vendor to Market Document Scanning for Health Care Providers Converting to Electronic Health Record Systems

ORLANDO, Fla. --- The University of Central Florida Regional Extension Center (REC) in the College of Medicine has approved Melken Solutions in Orlando as a vendor to market document scanning to health care providers who are converting their medical files to electronic medical records in Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Polk, Seminole and Volusia Counties. Melanie Wheeler, co-founder and partner at Melken Solutions, said the approval is a critical one for their business. Federal law requires all physicians to adopt Electronic Health Records by end of 2015. That means doctors and health care providers must digitize all of their existing documents and images. “That’s precisely what Melken Solutions does,” Wheeler explained. “We specialize in customer-focused scanning for doctors and health care providers,” she said. Approval by the UCF REC program means Melken Solutions will be exposed to a wide range of physician and health care groups in the seven-county region. The UCF College of Medicine was recently awarded a $7.8 million grant by the federal government to develop its Regional Extension Center (REC). “The REC aims to improve health care delivery by promoting widespread adoption and meaningful use of health information technology,” Wheeler said. “The REC will assist health care providers in the selection and adoption of adequate EHR solutions to improve patient care,” she added. Melken Solutions is a member of the UCF Business Incubation Program and located in the Central Florida Research Park in east Orange County.
