Healthcare Business Solutions

Ambulatory Care Providers must deliver quality patient care while complying with the myriad of regulatory requirements is a challenge. Whether you’re a small private practice or a large multi-specialty clinic, Konica Minolta can assist you in solving administrative or clinical challenges, meeting business objectives with solutions and services to enhance security, improve workflow and interoperability, and reduce operational costs. Managing medical records is an essential task of any healthcare provider. Traditional paper documents are time-consuming to file and difficult to retrieve. A secure document management system can ensure medical regulation compliance while promoting productivity and ensuring all employees have easy access to vital files, documents and paperwork, freeing up valuable time.

Acute Care Providers know very well that healthcare reform, reimbursement changes and privacy and security challenges put continual pressure on hospitals and health systems. Complying with HIPAA, HITECH and the myriad regulatory requirements — while delivering quality patient care — requires partnerships with companies that understand your business.  Konica Minolta is helping customers like you navigate this complex healthcare landscape with solutions and services to improve workflow, enhance security and reduce costs. As a healthcare provider, document management and security are of the utmost importance. Medical documents are held to the strictest levels of management and regulation to prevent unauthorized parties from gaining access to this information. Violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act can be costly and hurt a healthcare office's reputation. Document protection and SSL security can ensure you comply with all laws and regulations.

Extended Care and Ancillary Care Providers at nursing facilities, rehabilitation centers, home health agencies and other healthcare venues manage the health of chronically ill patients, but lack the financial incentives offered through Meaningful Use.  However, this does not lessen the need for reliable and productive information technology.  Konica Minolta has worked with the extended care community to provide cost-effective healthcare business solutions to improve workflow, enhance security and minimize costs, while connecting the community of care with efficient interoperability solutions. Copying, printing and storage costs are variable expenses that add up annually. As this expense varies from month to month, accurately predicting the overall cost for the year when budgeting may be difficult. Digitizing information can help your office save on printing, paper and storage costs, allowing you more budget to work with each year. Additionally, physician business solutions are a steady cost, allowing you to accurately work this expense into your monthly and annual budget.

Security of protected health information (PHI) has never been more critical. HIPAA fines are mounting, and HITECH compliance and audits are a reality. By implementing our security solutions and services, healthcare organizations enhance HIPAA compliance through user authentication, data encryption, and device audit trails. Further, to ensure your organization is compliant with HIPAA privacy and security rules and the HITECH breach notification, Konica Minolta offers risk and vulnerability assessment services as well as the ability to easily share patient information using industry-standard direct messaging and cloud-based clinical document exchange.

Mobile Device Solutions are a major facet making healthcare to be the dynamic and constantly evolving industry that it is. Physicians, nurses and staff are more mobile today than ever, traveling between hospitals, physicians’ offices and ancillary care facilities while getting the job done with their iPad®, iPhone® or Android™ device. For maximum productivity, Konica Minolta gives you the power to print and scan 24/7 on many networked bizhub multifunction printer (MFP) models from any location with wireless access. Our offerings include Mobile Print Solutions, BYOD and Mobility Thought Leadership. Ease of access has always been an essential aspect of medical professionals being able to provide high-quality care to all patients. As healthcare providers are on the move more, convenient and easy-to-access information continues to be an essential element of providing patient care. Mobile and remote access can give medical providers the information they need when they need it to quickly and accurately provide treatment for a patient.
