How MPS Benefits Healthcare Facilities
1. Ensure Cost Savings and Budget Predictability
Healthcare organizations often have limited budgets and need to maximize every dollar. MPS providers conduct a detailed analysis of your print infrastructure to identify areas of waste and inefficiency. They’ll recommend the most efficient solutions, eliminating unnecessary devices and ensuring appropriate usage.
With volume-based pricing and consolidated billing, your facility gains clearer visibility into print-related expenses, making budget management easier and more predictable. Plus, streamlined print operations mean fewer financial surprises.
2. Reduce Downtime and Minimize Disruptions
In healthcare, time is critical. Printer downtime can delay admissions, lab results, and patient documentation, impacting patient care. MPS providers offer proactive maintenance and remote monitoring, detecting and resolving issues before they escalate. Automated supply management also ensures devices always have the necessary toner and paper, reducing interruptions.
By freeing up your IT team from printer-related issues, they can focus on supporting essential healthcare technology like EHR systems, telehealth platforms, and medical devices.
3. Enhance Security and Protect Patient Data
Healthcare organizations are prime targets for cyberattacks due to the sensitive patient data they handle. MPS providers implement comprehensive security measures to safeguard your print environment, including:
- Secure Print Release: Documents are only printed when authorized staff are physically present, preventing unauthorized access.
- Data Encryption: Ensuring patient information remains protected during transmission.
- Access Controls: Restricting printer access to authorized personnel only.
- Routine Security Audits: Identify vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with HIPAA and other regulations.
With an MPS provider, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your print network is secure and compliant.
4. Streamline Administrative Tasks and Boost Productivity
Healthcare administrators juggle numerous responsibilities. MPS simplifies print management by automating supply orders and providing real-time monitoring. This means staff can focus on patient care instead of dealing with printer issues.
MPS providers can also integrate print management with your EHR or ERP system for seamless data sharing. This reduces manual data entry, minimizes human error, and ensures timely and secure access to critical patient documents.
5. Gain Valuable Insights with Reporting and Analytics
Understanding your print environment helps optimize workflows and reduce waste. MPS providers offer detailed reporting on print usage, device efficiency, and supply consumption. With this data, healthcare organizations can identify opportunities for cost reduction, establish print policies, and ensure compliance with internal guidelines.
You’ll have a clearer understanding of how printing impacts your operations, allowing you to make informed decisions that improve both efficiency and patient care.
