Study Evaluates Practices in Records Retrieval
Houston, TX (PRWEB) March 17, 2016 -- A recent study commissioned by Keais Records Service on the industry practices in records retrieval yielded several interesting results that shed light on the importance of records retrieval in the claims and litigation management process. Sixty-six senior claim and litigation executives participated in the study.
Key results of the study include:
• Records retrieval is a very high-frequency and high-cost activity for claim organizations.
• Almost 70 percent of claim organizations retrieve records on at least 60 percent of their files.
• Seventy percent of respondents said they do not capture the amount spent retrieving records, and only 10 percent have ever analyzed law firm invoices to understand what firms charge for records retrieval.
• Records retrieval activities consume significant internal resources and drive significant cost. Retrieval activities can take on average 12 percent of a claim professional’s time.
• Claim executives believe there is a correlation between faster retrieval time and improved claim cycle time. Seventy percent reported having to wait for records in order to close a file.
