Today at the Cerner Health Conference (CHC) 2019, HP Inc. announced
its expanded healthcare portfolio. The HP Healthcare Edition print
portfolio improves patient safety, enables clinical efficiency and
secures patient data and medical records.
“More than any other industry, healthcare solutions that address
global challenges have the power to improve the lives of people all
around the world,” said Tuan Tran, Incoming President, Imaging,
Printing and Solutions, HP Inc. “Our new innovations are designed
to address the most pressing issues facing the healthcare industry
today including patient safety, care coordination, clinical
efficiency and security. Through deep customer insights and
collaboration with healthcare associations and partners, we’re
reinventing what’s possible in healthcare.”
PATIENT SAFETY
HP’s new innovations assist with three critical areas of patient
safety: Health-care associated infections, electromagnetic
interference and patient identification.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimate that hospitals
are responsible for 1.7 million infections and 99,000 associated
deaths each year. Electronic devices, which are critical in
successful patient treatment, are common areas for pathogenic
bacteria contamination.4,5,6,7 Improving sanitization
procedures is not enough to combat the problem since many
technology touch points are easily and quickly damaged by
germicidal wipes.
To help address this issue, HP’s new Healthcare Edition MFP
keyboards and touch-enabled control panels are designed to be
sanitized regularly, withstanding up to 10,000X industry-standard
germicidal wipes, helping to reduce the risk of health-care
associated infection transmission.1
In addition, HP today introduced EN/IEC 60601-1-2 certified HP
Healthcare Edition printers for EMI safety.2 This certification
ensures these devices can be used within the patient sphere without
risk of electromagnetic interference to sensitive patients and
surrounding medical equipment.
HP is also collaborating with Zebra to help provide patients
with the right care at the right time. By integrating Zebra into
HP’s Healthcare Edition print portfolio, clinicians can now print
integrated patient ID wristbands, thus increasing patient
identification accuracy. In addition, through HP’s global
Managed Print Services program with Zebra, care providers can also
print trackable labels on-demand via Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID). For secure prescription printing technology, HP
solutions with Troy software track a prescription’s validity,
reducing prescription inaccuracies, as well as controlled substance
prescription abuse.
CLINICIAN EFFICIENCY AND PATIENT PRIVACY
Clinicians, on average, log into IT systems 70x per day,
overextending their capacity and resulting in burnout.8,9 HP’s new
print solutions offer care providers seamless input and extraction
of patient information on the go with their Imprivata-enabled
identity badge.10 With the HP cloud solution with Cerner’s EMR,
HP’s Healthcare Edition portfolio provides an end-to-end computing
to printing ecosystem.
HP Healthcare Edition MFPs also include the Biscom for
Healthcare app, which is completely integrated with EPIC and
Cerner. This enables the entire clinical team to digitally transmit
and receive patient information or directly input data into the
electronic medical record (EMR) system right from an app on the
printer. As a result, care providers can make timely critical
decisions to improve the experience of patients and the entire care
team.
In addition, HP provides the world’s most secure PCs11 and
printing solutions12 to protect patient privacy and security. Care
providers can now swipe their regular Imprivata-enabled identity
badge to the built-in RFID reader on any HP Healthcare Edition
PC10, complete a patient chart or place an order in Cerner
Millenium, and then simply walk up to any HP Healthcare Edition
printer and swipe the same badge to securely release the document.
This helps ensure clinicians receive the correct patient medication
reconciliations, controlled substance prescriptions, lab reports,
patient education, or discharge summary documents wherever
healthcare happens.
