Compliant, Efficient Patient Information Sharing with Healthcare-Enabled MFP Plus

Compliant patient data sharing between providers, patients, and health plans has never been more important or more challenging. Despite electronic health records (EHRs), paper still plagues many clinical and administrative tasks.Scanning documents into patient records can be a cumbersome process, riddled with manual steps and prone to errors,consuming valuable staff time. And sharing those documents has largely been dependent on fax—a method prone to security risks and inefficiencies.

A powerful solution exists to simplify data exchange while upholding the highest security protocols: Direct Secure Messaging, also known simply as “Direct.” Available through the new Konica Minolta Healthcare-Enabled MFP Plus, Direct is powered by the intuitive interface and robust construction of the bizhub i-Series and connected by Kno2. Direct empowers you to quickly and securely capture, store, and share patient information across the entire care continuum. This translates to enhanced care coordination, reduced costs and improved staff productivity.

How Does Direct Work?

Direct offers a standardized and widely adopted method for exchanging patient health information (PHI) within certified EHRs – and it all happens conveniently from your MFP or even your email! This method eliminates the security risks and inefficiencies associated with faxing, allowing seamless transmission of a variety of data formats, including clinical notes, C-CDAs, and even simple messages.

What are the Advantages?

  • Safe and Secure: Leverages the DirectTrust network, ensuring you know exactly who you’re sending information to. In addition, messages are encrypted to keep patient data private and maintain HIPAA compliance.
