OM Plus Solution for Managing Epic and Enterprise Print Output
In the world of healthcare, managing electronic health records (EHR) is a critical task. However, managing any EHR print output can be a challenging task, especially for large healthcare organizations. This is where the OM Plus solution comes in, providing a customizable print output management system that integrates seamlessly with Epic’s EHR.
The Challenge of EHR Output Management
Printing from Epic, Enterprise, and critical desktop applications is a complex process involving multiple data streams, workflows, servers, operating systems, data transformations and complex networks supporting printers at multiple locations. With the disparate native utilities that “out-of-the-box” healthcare applications and desktop implementations rely upon, this type of environment provides many challenges for anyone trying to manage it. Multiple staff skills and toolsets are required for configuring and supporting the environment. Troubleshooting problems requires looking at multiple systems and trying to patch together various system information to try and track down a problem. Support desk personnel respond to problems in a reactive manner. Print queues are defined across many systems and applications.
Without our OM Plus Enterprise Print Output Management solution, addressing and resolving issues can take longer than they should. This affects system availability which in turn affects user productivity, satisfaction, and ultimately patient care.
The output from an Epic EHR system can be vast and diverse, including patient charts, medical reports, diagnostic results, and prescriptions. The challenge is to manage this output efficiently, ensuring that it is accurate, secure, and delivered on time. Here are some of the challenges that healthcare organizations face when managing Epic and other application output:
Complexity: Output can be complex to manage, especially when it involves multiple systems and workflows across vast networks with many endpoints.
Security: Medical reports contain sensitive patient information, and ensuring the security and confidentiality of this information is critical.
Timeliness: Healthcare organizations need to deliver medical reports and other output in a timely manner to ensure that patients receive the best possible care.
Accuracy: Accurate and error-free output is essential in the healthcare industry, where documents need to print where, when and how they are supposed to so clinicians get the information they need to provide proper patient care.
