Solutions help address the following healthcare challenges:

• Complying with Meaningful Use Stage 2 document transmission requirements - Konica Minolta addresses secure document transmission with Inofile Kno2, a cloud-based solution communicating unstructured content in a secure, standards-based approach. Kno2 directly integrates with Konica Minolta bizhub® multifunctional printers (MFPs) allowing healthcare customers to capture, exchange and receive patient information or other documentation in healthcare-compatible formats with various health information exchange networks, Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) systems and outside providers or partners. Integrating Kno2 in the bizhub® MFP provides an on-ramp to MU Stage 2 requirements with secure messaging to pass patient data across the continuum of care.

• Management of complex HIPAA and HITECH compliance - To address HIPAA privacy and security regulations, Konica Minolta offers advanced security solutions and services that healthcare customers can use to control and manage access to sensitive data and mitigate potential breaches. Konica Minolta solutions and hardware offer advanced HDD encryption, device authentication, password protection, automatic data deletion and MFP activity monitoring to ensure the highest level of data security. Konica Minolta also offers comprehensive security assessment and IT services through its All Covered division.

• Improving operational efficiencies and reducing costs  - With costs rising, healthcare providers need to assess all operating costs and implement solutions positioned to improve efficiencies and minimize waste without affecting quality of care. Konica Minolta offers proven solutions that help drive down unnecessary printing costs, eliminate analog fax lines, streamline workflows and business processes, and improve document management capabilities. With document capture solutions, Konica Minolta is making it easier than ever to capture critical patient information into EHR systems for complete patient records.
