It’s a bold statement that title but a true one. In today’s digital workplace and with modern technology there are more and more ways that industries are contributing advancements to people’s healthcare.
The healthcare industry is looking to health technology for help and this is where PaperCut and print management software can play a part. Simply by configuring your settings to control your print output, you can automatically manage your print costs - freeing up funds that could potentially be re-used on other life saving equipment.
The Role of Print Management in Healthcare
Boosting Efficiency and Safety
Effective print management systems like PaperCut offer more than just printing solutions—they enhance the entire healthcare delivery model. By configuring settings to control print output, healthcare facilities can manage costs more effectively, allocating saved resources to essential patient care equipment. This strategic approach reduces expenses and minimizes waste, aligning with sustainability goals.
Enhancing HIPAA Compliance through Secure Printing
Security and Privacy at the Forefront
Compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is crucial for all healthcare providers. PaperCut’s print management software supports HIPAA compliance by ensuring that all printed materials, whether patient records or pharmaceutical scripts, are securely handled. Features like document watermarking and user authentication at printers help in maintaining strict control over who accesses and prints sensitive information, thereby preventing data breaches.
By having watermarks on documents, the printer of the printed material can be clearly seen. Attributing a user to a print log as well as authenticating users at the printer ensures that users are linked and assigned to their documents to prevent unintended shared documents.
So print management actually supports the health industry as this innovative software makes adding security , digital signatures and secure print release simple and configurable.
If you’re looking to bolster your compliance, PaperCut offers you this capability.
