Abstract
A method of capturing and processing medical charts of a health care facility includes building a document capture template for types of documents used by the health care facility, forming a batch of medical charts including at least one medical chart that includes at least one document comprising at least one page. The pages of the medical chart are undivided from each other. The method includes scanning the pages of the batch of medical charts, recognizing characters of text marked on the pages of the medical charts, analyzing the text of the pages of the medical charts using the document capture template, dividing the scanned pages into at least two documents, assigning a document type to each of the at least two documents, and creating an index of the pages using the document types assigned to each of the at least two documents.
