Canon, a Leading Healthcare Solutions Provider, Helps Customers Realize Essential Actions for Healthcare Transformation at HIMSS 2017MELVILLE, N.Y., Feb. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The goal of appropriately access and help protect patient information is top of mind for today's healthcare organizations, as well as Canon U.S.A., a leader in digital imaging solutions. At the Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Annual Conference, taking place February 19 to 23 in Orlando, healthcare providers visiting the Canon booth (#1837) can discover how Canon solutions can assist customers in taking the essential actions needed for transformation while considering information exchange requirements under Meaningful Use. While experiencing the high-quality imaging and productivity enhancing solutions that earned Canon a 2017 Buyers Laboratory LLC (BLI) PaceSetter award for Healthcare in the Hospital Networks category and learning why the brand was recognized by survey respondents as a top shared printer/MFP brand in hospitals1, visitors can also attend presentations from Canon collaborators, including Box, Inc., to discover solutions that can allow them to easily collaborate with other medical professionals, while helping to enhance patient experience and help practitioners with their continuity of care and compliance goals2. The flow of patient information continues long after it is digitized, making it imperative for organizations to adopt an information file sharing approach that can help limit access to patient data, and promotes coordination and integration of medical information for continuity of care, enabling healthcare professionals to collaborate and efficiently track and compile a patient's comprehensive health history. With these needs in mind, Canon offers a wide variety of devices and software solutions that can help to effectively manage patient data from the point of digital capture to transmission and storage. Attendees can also see how Canon devices and software solutions can help increase efficiency and contain printing costs in paper-intensive workflow environments, such as medical records, administrative documents, admissions and discharge.

Providers face mounting pressures to adapt their practices to rising costs, changing regulatory requirements and other difficulties that challenge healthcare delivery organizations to remain efficient and profitable. And all this while still providing the highest level quality of care," noted Jamie Bsales, director, Office Workflow Solutions Analysis at BLI. "Not only has Canon demonstrated a strong ability to help organizations face mounting pressures to move from paper records to electronic and reduce costs, it has also shown its ability to leverage its imaging technology expertise to offer a host of solutions beyond document imaging and managed services, including digital radiography and ophthalmic equipment."
