The Company:
The Landesärztekammer Baden-Württemberg is the State Chamber of Physicians of the German state of Baden-Württemberg, headquartered in Stuttgart. The organisation also comprises four district medical associations, and represents the interests of the medical profession in the region.
Challenge:
Every month, the Landesärztekammer Baden-Württemberg handles thousands of medical documents across its offices. However, relying on manual, paper-based document processes was time-consuming, while physical storage cabinets consumed valuable floorspace. To accelerate access to critical information, the organisation aimed to streamline document management, storage, and retrieval. This move would also save time for employees, improve efficiency and productivity, and facilitate compliance.
Solution & Benefits:
The Landesärztekammer Baden Württemberg selected DocuWare Cloud to deliver scalable, intuitive document management with minimal IT overhead. The solution provides centralised storage for 1.5 million medical documents, replacing paper archives and generating major cost and floorspace savings. Automated document retention and deletion workflows support strict legal compliance, while rapid digital retrieval saves employees up to 2.5 hours per day, enabling major productivity gains across the organisation.
“DocuWare Cloud is a future-proof and flexible solution. We have already realised substantial cost and floorspace savings by phasing out paper archives. And we can always add new custom fields in DocuWare to extend and adapt our solution to meet new requirements.”
