<p>Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. announced that Infirmary Health System, a provider of healthcare in southwest Alabama, has implemented Konica Minolta Optimized Print Services (OPS) throughout its entire network of hospitals, outpatient facilities and medical clinics.</p><p>According to a release, by standardizing on a managed print solution Infirmary Health has saved over $240,000 as well as simplified the management of 2,000 printing devices and improved efficiencies and document security.</p><p>"Maintaining our large printing fleet across multiple hospitals and clinics was a strain on the IT department and our operational budget," Eddy Stephens, CIO, Infirmary Health System, Inc. "It made more sense to move to a single managed print service plan with Konica Minolta OPS maintaining and supporting our entire fleet regardless of the manufacture and model. Not only has it helped to drive down operating costs, but the IT department no longer has to manage multiple vendors or service devices ourselves. With everything else I have on my plate as CIO of a large healthcare provider, printing is now one less thing I have to worry about with Konica Minolta OPS."</p><p>For the past 15 years Infirmary Health has leveraged Konica Minolta printers, bizhub multifunction printers (MFPs) and production print systems. Looking ahead to the long-term changes in healthcare reimbursements from government and private payers, Infirmary Health turned to Konica Minolta to implement a managed print solution that would help reduce its operating budget and drive costs out of the system. Infirmary Health now saves $20,000 monthly on replacement toner cartridges by moving to Konica Minolta OPS for the ordering and delivery of all consumables, replacement parts and maintenance kits, regardless of the device make or model.</p><p><a href="http://www.hispanicbusiness.com/2013/10/21/health_system_implements_konica_minolta_optimized.htm">Keep reading...</a></p>
