  • Patent number: 7446892
    Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for facilitating document imaging and delivery. A scanner reads a barcode from a separator sheet associated with a document, sorts the document based on the barcode, and scans the document in order to create an electronic document. A first server reads a document form number from the electronic document and assigns a document control number to the electronic document. A second server determines the document type and identification information associated with the electronic document based on the document form number. The second server indexes the electronic document using the barcode, the document form number, the document control number, identification information, or the document type. The second server routes the location of the electronic document to a computer system based on the barcode, the document form number, the document control number, identification information, or the document type.
