Change has remained a constant phenomenon in healthcare service delivery. One goal has continued to remain the same in all hospitals despite the constant change phenomenon that happens within the hospital system. The singular goal that has continued to maintain its position is “the provision of standardised care for treating patients efficiently”.
The need for patient records and reports to be clearly seen and read is long overdue. This is because it limits medical errors.
Hospitals have a culture of sending patients from one ward, unit or department to another for investigations or specialised treatment / management. This culture requires that patient records and all other information are properly documented and shared between the sending and receiving ward, unit or department in a highly secure and confidential manner.
Maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of patient medical records is an issue that must not be taken lightly, because it has very serious ethical and legal implications for the hospital management and staff.
Capturing, storing, and sharing of patient data, medical records, prescriptions, care schedule and care instructions from one point of care to another can help reduce errors, enhance clinical efficiency and above all, improve patient care.
Understanding and appreciating the reason why an effective document management system is very critical to patient care can be demonstrated by the provision of high – quality multifunction printing devices (MFPs) that would ensure that patient treatment/management records are standardly printed, captured and stored securely using an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system repository.
For hospitals to achieve the very important goal of standardised patient care and prevent inappropriate handling of patient records and information, which may subject the hospital management and their staff to serious litigation and loss of reputation, KDS Direct supply Kyocera devices that have the capacity to meet the healthcare organisation’s printing needs.
As a well-resourced printing and document management solutions provider, KDS Direct is committed to providing hospitals with high quality, cost effective printing solutions that can improve treatment / management outcomes.
Our solutions for hospitals include:

Multifunction Printers (MFPs)
Every hospital environment deals with documents. These documents can be found at every critical point of the hospital: patient records, invoicing, insurance, supplies and many more. It is key for every hospital to have a very strong document management strategy that can effectively manage the multitudes of documents that they generate.
Kyocera Multifunction Printers (MFPs) supplied by KDS Direct have customisable apps and services specially designed to meet the needs and challenges confronting all hospitals in delivering their mandate of improved patient outcomes through effective printing and document management solutions.
The Kyocera MFPs come in A4/A3 colour and black/white. They are capable of printing large volume of papers in a very short period of time, thereby reducing downtime problems. They support mobile and cloud printing, which allows hospital staff to access documents even from remote locations. The MFPs supplied by KDS direct are capable of printing on both pages of the paper, and also sorting and stapling documents together when using the finishing options.
The MFPs are also designed in such a manner that, only persons with user keys are allowed to access information from them. This prevents third parties from having access to sensitive documents and information.
For improved patient outcomes through effective managed document solutions, KDS Direct is your best shot.
