Like any healthcare provider, you want to give your patients undivided attention, but this can be difficult when administrative functions also demand your time and resources. It’s best to invest in technologies that will make running your healthcare organization easier, including a robust Enterprise Print Management solution that allows you and your staff to seamlessly protect patient data, ensure regulatory compliance (including GDPR and HIPAA), and reduce printing costs at the same time.
Say goodbye to printing issues
Enterprise Print Management is the key to enhancing security, improving productivity, and ensuring better patient care and services. With the right software, you can centralize print administration and reduce printing costs using the tools to effectively maintain and control your entire printer fleet from a central user interface.
How do you choose the right enterprise print management solution for your healthcare organizations? Here are some features to look for:
- Regulatory compliance reporting
No matter the size of your practice, it needs to comply with all relevant healthcare regulations. A centralized enterprise print management solution should support this with reporting tools and analytics. It should let you identify who printed, scanned, or copied what, where, and when, and generate automated reports to simplify auditing. The software should also support real-time status monitoring.
- Flexibility to print
The right enterprise print management solution will make you and your staff more flexible and productive by allowing you to print securely on any printer. Some systems can be integrated with your digital patient records platform to improve workflows and to help your staff save time.
- Secure print release and printing
Secure print release is an important feature that can help protect confidential and sensitive patient data, especially if you allow your staff to print on many printers. This security feature requires users to authenticate at the printer before their documents are printed. It also prevents documents from being left unattended or misplaced. Print jobs can be deleted automatically from the queue when they’re not released within a specific period.
- Tamper Resistant Prescription Printing
Some printing solutions provide electronic forms overlays containing security features such as micro-print and void pantographs. These features enable the printing of tamper resistant prescriptions that meet CMS guidelines while utilizing plain paper and standard printers. This saves substantial cost compared to using pre-printed forms, special printers, locking trays and processes to securely procure, store, distribute and track the usage of the special pre-printed forms.
- Centralized queue management and print spooling
Effective enterprise print management calls for a centralized hub for managing and controlling multiple enterprise systems including EMRs. Make sure your enterprise print management solution has troubleshooting tools, error notification, productivity features (e.g., re-start, re-print, and fail-over), and an option that lets you print from mobile devices.
- HIPAA-compliant
Enterprise print management solutions must abide by HIPAA regulations so you can be sure that patient information and communications are effectively protected to avoid security breaches.
