Bujikuibu to thousands of miles: health reform construction put good cost

--ballarat Tiyatien Services manages to slash printing costs through HP's printing

With the State Council's adoption of the new health reform program, medical reforms have again become the focus of public attention. To build a digital hospital as a strategic measure to improve the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment has received unprecedented attention. In recent years, the practice of domestic hospital informatization shows that the medical record printing and management, which has not been paid enough attention, is becoming a cost "iceberg" that cannot be neglected. How to use a better solution to resolve the rising cost of printing, is the hospital leaders face the important issue.

Ballarat Tiyatien Services (BHS) is the largest local hospital in the Australian grand-screen area. In the process of information construction, BHS also faced the challenge of the rising cost of medical records. By partnering with HP, the global printing and imaging market leader, BHS introduced advanced document printing management processes and solutions that not only reduced printing costs by more than 30% per cent, but also increased operational efficiency and competitiveness through the use of digital documents. BHS experience is of great significance for domestic medical institutions.

Document output challenges that plague BHS

Before the introduction of HP (HP) Print Management solution, BHS is facing the challenge of difficult printing and copying equipment maintenance, and the rising operating cost. As Australia's renowned medical architecture, BHS provides medical services to residents of most of State Of Victoria, with more than 4,000 employees in 48,000 square kilometres. Because of BHS's decentralized operating model, each department is accustomed to purchasing and maintaining its own document output devices. According to statistics, the entire BHS has 18 different suppliers of 177 different models of 454 printing and photocopying equipment. This leads to increasing operating costs, and document printing equipment management and maintenance is extremely difficult.

As BHS Information Department director, Jurman is deeply touched by this. "When it comes to printing and copying, we do not have central management, and each department buys its own equipment, causing confusion about equipment, technology and capabilities, and most importantly, the cost is difficult to control," he said. ”

BHS began to innovate IT infrastructure. They decided to buy a standard type of output from a single vendor instead of a different type of output device that is currently difficult to manage, at the same time, I hope that the printing system can support more electronic documents, reduce the reliance on paper, realize the digital, automated workflow, effectively reduce operating costs at the same time, improve efficiency and employee satisfaction.

HP printing solution to solve BHS problem

To achieve these goals, BHS attaches great importance to the selection of suppliers and establishes three key standards for availability, reliability and low cost. After careful comparison and trial, BHS finally decided to buy hp (HP) output devices and solutions.

According to the introduction, HP (HP) for the BHS solution based on the work audit solution--megatrack software, equipped with 80 all-in-one (MFP) and 100 printers, and is supported by central management and HP cost recovery solutions. The solution focuses on cost recovery, asset utilization, and balanced deployment, BHS and HP (HP) tailor different application patterns through a precise assessment of employee workloads across the organization, reducing the number of output devices from 300 to 180, and lowering total cost of ownership by more than 30%.

The introduction of HP (HP) document printing management solution to BHS has brought great benefits. First of all, Megatrack application allows BHS to accurately track the use of internal printing and photocopying, each department according to the use of charges, so that the printing cost is no longer "Shing." Second, the use of a supplier of standardized products, significantly reduce the complexity of operational maintenance, BHS equipment-related failure rate has fallen laminatiion, accidental accidents can also be remote help desktop by the IT Manager and staff dialogue to guide the diagnosis and processing, supplies ordering is simpler. Finally, the standardization of output equipment is also convenient for the staff to use, the staff from one department or region to another department or region, can skillfully operate the equipment, and the use of HP (HP) All-in-one machine to replace the printer and copier, to avoid the staff in different equipment between the impact of the work efficiency.

Moreover, BHS is also working with HP to introduce digital technology into the print infrastructure. This not only reduces the reliance on paper, but also optimizes business processes. With the All-in-one scanning function, employees can scan documents and store them in PDF format, which can be distributed in lieu of paper by email. Employees can also send faxes directly using the computer without having to pass through paper documents.

Jurman values the value of digitalization, he says, "the cost of using paper is not just about printing and copying paper, but also about the space used to store medical records." As we plan to convert paper data into electronic data in the future, HP is helping us to become a digital hospital. ”

From the above case, it is not difficult to see, BHS through the introduction of HP (HP)-led printing solutions, not only effectively reduce the cost of printing, but also through the creation of digital hospitals to enhance the core competencies. "No accumulation of bujikuibu and thousands of miles", for our country is in the medical reform tide of medical institutions, through the experience of foreign peers, in the construction of Digital hospital to introduce a more advanced document printing solution, not only can effectively eliminate the cost of print printing, the risk of runaway, more through digital technology to improve management and operational efficiency, To build a harmonious relationship between doctors and patients.
