Take a look through and you will discover how intuitive multifunctional printing technology is already supporting the transition to mobile and digital healthcare in organisations just like yours.
Inside you will see how many of the current challenges in Healthcare are easy to overcome with a new approach to document management.
2. Welcome
Changing priorities within the National Health
Service present healthcare providers with new
and significant organisational challenges. In
particular, in dealing with data and information
management at a time of increasing patient
choice and the digitisation of care records.
For NHS Foundation Trusts, bringing together paper and digital records to
create a single, manageable care pathway is a major test of existing resources.
Some Ambulance Trusts are being asked to respond to recommendations
from the Care Quality Commission regarding the implementation of more
robust methods of communication among staff or to patients.
The remaining Primary Care Trusts will need GPs and others to provide the
right forms of patient information to secondary care providers while staying
on top of budgets. At the same time, Clinical Commissioning Groups must
quickly implement new systems and processes to maintain the timely,
efficient and secure sharing of confidential information and meet rising
standards in patient care.
These challenges are the same up and down the country. The increasing
pressure on resources coupled with the digitisation of healthcare is placing
extra demands on healthcare providers. As patients become more involved in
their care, organisations like yours are being asked to balance quality of care
targets with robust information management and operational efficiency.
But there are opportunities to develop too.
An organisational focus on increased patient choice, easy access to digital
care records and value for money can lead to widespread improvements in
service provision, enhanced staff satisfaction and better resource allocation.
Samsung understands how ongoing change in the National Health Service
continues to affect healthcare providers. That is why we continue to invest in
the sector, with a focus on quickly turning our technological innovations into
healthcare solutions that have an impact on day-to-day hospital activities.
In the pages that follow you will see how we are doing this with our MultiXpress
range of Android-powered printers. Designed to be easier to use, simpler to
manage across multiple sites and more cost-effective to run, MultiXpress
printers also support your changing priorities as a healthcare provider.
Read on to find out how the wireless MultiXpress range offers mobile printing
to free up staff time; reduces the transfer of harmful bacteria across wards;
and tracks every copy to keep you on top of your budgets.
You will also discover more about our Medical Security Printing Solution,

4. Improving patient choice
Patients and their GPs are empowered to
select the best possible services from a
wider range of healthcare providers. For
Clinical Commissioning Groups, Acute
Trusts, Ambulance Trusts and Primary Care
Trusts alike, streamlining the administration
process and freeing up staff time to deal
with patients is the ultimate goal in today’s
changing healthcare landscape.
Delivering value-for-money investments
From an administrative point of view, many
care pathways share the same technology
requirements. Being able to monitor the
use of these technologies – in particular
those that require consumables, such as
printers – will go further towards making
sure device purchases pay for themselves.
Understanding who is using what and when
will give IT managers a way to encourage
less colour printing or more efficient duplex
printing for example, helping to ensure
better total cost of ownership.
Digitising care records
Government initiatives such as Digital
By Default and plans for healthcare to be
paperless by 2018 have encouraged the
rise of e-health. Added to this is the demand
for technology that moves with the user
and the familiarity of mobile devices among
healthcare professionals. Organisations
must also respond with the technology to
deliver faster inter- and intra-departmental
digital record sharing.
Looking to green healthcare
Sometimes overlooked in a sector that
is busy dealing with individuals, wider
environmental responsibility is climbing up
the agenda for many healthcare providers.
Meeting Government drives for efficiency
and improving sustainability are not mutually
exclusive. Using technology that actively
cuts energy usage and improves the use of
finite resources is one way managers can
have an immediate impact.
Challenges of changing healthcare
Successive governments have launched far-reaching initiatives that have
contributed to unprecedented levels of change within the National Health
Service. From new service delivery standards to IT transformation projects
and the digitisation of healthcare records, the result is increased pressure on
healthcare service providers to meet a range of often competing objectives.
Impact across the board
Expectations are rising within healthcare but not just among patient
groups. With the potential for technology to make a difference to the
way healthcare providers work, primary and secondary stakeholders
already see the opportunities and want to take advantage today.
Key Challenges
Reducing healthcare complexities
The healthcare sector is characterised
by complicated workflows. But with IT
consumerisation, staff now expect the
devices they use at work to be as simple
those that they use at home. Ensuring
devices are easy to operate and customising
settings to make them simpler to rollout
across multiple sites allows everyone to
benefit. Offering wireless mobility and
networked devices also supports paramedics
and community nurses, while multi-function
workstations in hospitals become better
places to work, not bottlenecks.
Securing information management
Medical information is highly confidential
and must remain so. Technologies that
can reduce the costs of confidential data
storage or disposal while improving the
security of information are essential to the
effectiveness of healthcare providers. These
organisations must also comply with the
latest information hygiene or governance
standards and prevent unauthorised access
to healthcare data.
The Corporate IT Director
Needs admin technology to fit with the
organisation’s five-year development
plan without draining resources from
other key IT infrastructure projects.
The GP
Wants to be able to refer patients and
their care records) to acute clinicians
with ease, while knowing the transfer
of data is completely secure.
The Care Quality Commissioner
Demands that levels of care are meeting the
national guidelines for safety, effectiveness
and general improvement
The IT Services Team member
Hopes that self-service and easy-to-operate
devices can take the pressure off an
overloaded IT Help Desk.

6. Rising to expectations
in the digital age
In an era of electronic care records and increasing patient choice,
healthcare providers must now ‘compete’ to provide the optimum
standards of service. But the all-embracing shift to mobile, digital and
personalised healthcare requires supporting technology to be successful.
The smart, mobile devices that are now used within hospitals and out in the community require
smart, mobile-enabled printing technologies so that document solutions are just as connected as
the people who use them.
By actively assisting integrated care pathways, web and cloud based multi-functional printers can speed
up the distribution of patient records and hard copy health information. Meanwhile, their intuitive
interfaces, serverless capabilities and easy connections help ensure that the new apps and devices
being used in modern healthcare scenarios do not become barriers to more efficient management.
