LEXINGTON, Ky., March 1/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lexmark International, Inc.
(NYSE: LXK) will showcase Lexmark Downtime Reports, the first printer-based
healthcare downtime solution, at the 2010 Healthcare Information and Management
Systems Society (HIMSS) conference being held in Atlanta. The solution, which
gives hospitals 24/7 access to critical forms and reports, even if their
hospital information systems fail or the network goes down, will be demonstrated
on the show floor at the Lexmark booth #8215 starting today through March 3.
Lexmark Downtime Reports provides healthcare providers with a cost-effective
alternative to purchasing dedicated PCs and printers for printing vital
documents during downtime events. The application stores reports, forms and
other important documents on the printer or multifunction product's (MFP)
encrypted hard drive. Once stored, these PDF documents are available and updated
on a periodic basis. This enables clinicians to access critical documents when a
downtime event occurs.
In addition to storing blank forms and reports, organizations may optionally
choose to store forms barcoded with patient IDs and form types. This allows for
efficient auto-indexing when scanning documents to help expedite updates to a
patient's electronic record after the system or network is back up.
"Healthcare providers need access to forms and information at a moment's notice,
even during a scheduled or unscheduled network outage," said Marty Canning,
Lexmark vice president and president of its Printing Solutions and Services
Division. "Available on Lexmark's award-winning line of laser printers and MFPs,
Lexmark Downtime Reports is designed to make information accessible when it is
needed, helping healthcare providers deal with the unexpected and deliver
uninterrupted patient care."

Aside from Lexmark Downtime Reports, other solutions will be showcased in the
Lexmark booth during HIMSS. They include:
-- Lexmark Output Analyzer helps you assess how your organization compares
with best practices for output management in healthcare. Stop by our
booth for an on-the-spot assessment, and learn how Lexmark can help you
print less and save more.
-- Lexmark Queue & View(TM) pairs Lexmark MFPs with proven physician order
management software to replace time consuming, error prone order faxing
with scanned orders. Orders are displayed onscreen in a priority queue
to enable fast, accurate follow through.
-- Lexmark Forms on Demand lets you select and print forms directly from
the e-Task touch screen on Lexmark printers and MFPs. By replacing
expensive preprinted forms and labels with intelligent barcoded forms,
the solution saves time and allows for efficient auto-indexing when
scanning hard copy documents.
-- Lexmark Scan to Network Premium lets you capture an image of hard copy
documents using just your Lexmark MFP. Preview, enhance and index your
image, then route it to a shared network folder. Advanced imaging,
indexing and notification features let you create intelligent,
high-quality images and confirm their delivery.
-- Lexmark Print Release is an access control security solution that lets
you send print jobs from a workstation, tablet PC or Mobile Wireless
Cart and print your jobs on the nearest Print Release-enabled printer or
MFP. Print Release protects confidential information by requiring you to
authenticate at the device before your print jobs will be released. The
solution supports a variety of authentication options, including
proximity badges and magnetic stripe cards.
-- Lexmark DocMP lets you capture and manage documents or files in a highly
secure document management platform. The solution improves business
processes by streamlining paper-based workflows and facilitating
information sharing among authorized users; it also prevents lost
documents and ensures that information is retained for its required time
period. Typical processes that can be improved with a Lexmark DocMP
solution include new hire onboarding, accounts payables/receivables
records, and contract file management.
