What is Managed Print for Healthcare?
-
Managed Print Services (MPS) is a fully managed approach to printing where your provider takes responsibility for your print infrastructure — devices, servicing, consumables, monitoring, security controls, and reporting.
-
For healthcare, MPS is especially valuable because print workflows often include:
-
Patient letters, referral packs, discharge summaries
-
Lab requests, prescriptions, forms, consent paperwork
-
Finance/admin documentation, HR files, and compliance records
-
Our approach reduces disruption while improving control and visibility across your estate.

Key Challenges in Healthcare Printing (and How We Fix Them)
Healthcare printing is different from standard office printing — the risk profile is higher and reliability matters more. Common challenges we solve include:
1) Patient document security and privacy risk
Unattended printouts at shared devices can expose sensitive information. We can implement secure print release, user authentication, audit trails, and policy controls to reduce risk.
​
2) Unplanned downtime and disruptive breakdowns
If a device fails during a busy clinic session, admin queues build instantly. With remote monitoring and proactive servicing, we reduce unexpected issues and respond faster.
​
3) Consumables running out at the worst time
Manual ordering leads to waste or shortages. We automate replenishment using monitoring data so toner arrives before it’s needed.
​
4) Lack of reporting and cost visibility
Most organisations don’t know what they print, where, and why. We provide reporting by device/site/user so you can control cost-per-page and reduce waste.
5) Multi-site inconsistency
Healthcare groups often grow by adding sites. We standardise fleets, policies and support to make printing predictable across all locations.
