It’s Not Hard to go Paperless

There seems to be a resentment or fear of going paperless. But you are going to have to do it, per government mandates, so why not start small? Start with getting rid of your junk mail and go forward from that point. The easiest thing to do is assign a person to specific paperless tasks. As an example, 1 person could be in charge of junk mail, another in charge of organizing and training for recall (by email), another in charge of inventory, another in charge of patient records and most importantly bills, (another blog) This blog is only about Junk Mail one of the banes of our existence, but can be eradicated with a little time and effort.
