Today, HP Inc. officially launched new print solutions for the
healthcare industry. Based on deep customer insights and
co-developed with healthcare providers, associations and partners,
HP Healthcare Print Solutions address the most pressing issues
facing the healthcare industry today including patient wellness and
safety, care coordination, mobility, privacy and security.
“As our healthcare systems continue to battle the ongoing
COVID-19 crisis and brace for a second wave colliding with the flu
this fall, the issues of patient safety and clinician burnout have
intensified,” said Daniel Colling, RN, Global Head Healthcare
Industry Solutions & Practice, HP Inc. “With this new portfolio
we are reinventing healthcare technology to put the doctor,
clinician and patient needs before anything else.”
Reducing the Risk of Virus Transmission and Healthcare
Associated Infections HP’s new Healthcare Edition MFP
keyboards and touch-enabled control panels are designed to be
disinfected regularly, withstanding up to 10,000X industry-standard
germicidal wipes, helping to reduce the risk of health-care
associated infections (HAIs) and viral pathogen
transmission1,2. HP has further enhanced the
disinfection capabilities of high-touch areas of the printer with
removable covers/drapes that can be sterilized daily in an
autoclave up to 134 ºC. HP is also collaborating with Clorox
Healthcare to offer a guide detailing infection prevention best
practices and other educational tools.
In order to enhance support of infection prevention policies, HP
has also broadened disinfection capabilities of HP Personal System
devices to include HP Engage Go3 and HP Elite products such as HP
EliteDesks, HP EliteOne (display panel only) 4, ZBook Mobile
Workstations and Z Series Desktop Workstations, HP Elite and Z
Displays (Z, S, E and P series, Display Panel Only)4,5 and HP
Education Notebooks (keyboards only).6
- The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that
healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are responsible for 1.7
million infections and 99,000 associated deaths each year.
- Infections and viruses add further strains to healthcare
organizations’ ability to provide safe, quality care to patients.
Influenza alone accounts for an US$11B economic annual
burden.7
- Studies show commonly used technologies, like printers and
mobile devices, are often highly contaminated with pathogenic
bacteria and viral pathogens. 8,9,10,11
- Most IT and IoT devices were not designed to be regularly
cleaned by hospital-grade disinfectant wipes. Repeated use has
shown to damage the integrity of the plastic and, ultimately, the
device itself.
Minimizing Contact
with Common Points of TransmissionHP’s unique global
Managed Print Services (MPS) program with Zebra Technologies
provides the HP Advance mobile app on Zebra’s TC52-HC handheld
touch computer to enable care providers to minimize contact with
common points of infection transmission at the point of care.
Providers can walk up to any HP Healthcare Edition MFP,
authenticate with the TC52-HC mobile computer and release critical
patient documents without having to touch the
device.
Reducing the Risk
of Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI)Patient and clinical worker mobile and IoT devices
add to a very congested radio spectrum that can interfere via
electromagnetic interference (EMI) with life-saving medical
devices. The new HP Health Solutions portfolio of IoT hand-held
devices and IoT print devices are EN/IEC 60601-1-2 certified for
EMI safety.12 The EN/IEC 60601-1-2 certification ensures these
devices can be used within the patient sphere and shared patient
areas without risk of EMI to sensitive patients and surrounding
medical equipment.
Helping Ensure Positive Patient
ID Patient identification errors are common and can lead
to serious reportable events that harm not only the patient’s
health, but also the clinical standing of the healthcare facility
where such an error occurred.13 Together, HP and Zebra solutions
empower clinicians to better manage positive patient identification
through integrated color patient ID wristbands, trackable specimen
labels printed on-demand with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
location services and point of care identification solutions for
patients.
Digitizing Processes for Faster, More Efficient
Care Coordination HP Healthcare Edition MFPs
include the HP Workpath Biscom for Healthcare app fully integrated
with EPIC and Cerner14. This enables the entire clinical team to
digitally transmit and receive patient information and
high-resolution color imaging like MRIs 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 and give back face time with their patients.
- 68% of physician respondents reported feeling burned out at the
moment, largely because of paperwork, regulatory demands and
electronic health record (EHR) documentation.15
- Important pieces of healthcare data can fall through the
cracks, frustrating patients who don’t understand why a specialist
can’t see last week’s diagnostic test result or why they were not
offered a diabetic-friendly hospital menu while staying as an
inpatient, for example.
Protecting Patient Privacy and SecurityAs the
implementation of technology advances, so too are the security
threats against healthcare systems. To help healthcare
organizations defend against emerging threats, HP provides the
world’s most secure PCs16 and printing solutions17 to protect
patient privacy and sensitive information. The new Healthcare
portfolio also offers Basic Print Cloud Services delivered through
a service, HP Print Security Advisory Services and HP Security
Manager that provides patient data protection to all HP devices,
with the added protection of PrintSecure on Zebra wristband
printers.
AvailabilityHP Healthcare Print Solutions are
now available for direct MPS customers in North America with plans
to roll out across Europe and Asia in 2021.
