Healthcare organization\u2019s highest priority is the well-being and safety of their patients. That extends beyond their physical health, to protecting their PHI. With prescriptions, charts, wristbands, and referrals floating around, this can be a difficult area to control. But too much control and organizations take away imperative time from their staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>A 2008 study posted by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement did a time and motion study to see where surgical nurses in the US spent their time. Their conclusion? Three subcategories accounted for most of nursing practice time: documentation (35.3%; 147.5 minutes), medication administration (17.2%; 72 minutes), and care coordination (20.6%; 86 minutes). Making sure printing challenges don\u2019t contribute or (heaven forbid) add more time to these subcategories means nurses are spending more time delivering safe, high-quality patient-centric care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>So how do healthcare organizations strike the right balance between remaining compliant while enabling easy printing functions for your staff?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Printing visibility \u2013 know who\u2019s printing what and when<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>End-to-end visibility is a foundation for IT security. Why? Because it helps predict, prevent, detect, and if necessary, contain security issues. PaperCut MF has print visibility as a core feature; it keeps job-by-job audit logs for every print, copy, and scan sent through your printers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having visibility is the first step in understanding what controls you need to put in place to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>improve printed document security<\/li><li>ensure data is used fairly and correctly<\/li><li>encourage and celebrate those individuals doing the right thing<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to get more visibility into your printing<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Print logs<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The starting point for print visibility is a centralized, detailed job log. This also often referred to as a printer audit log or printer event log. The print log contains the date, time, printer used, username, document name (now we&#8217;re talking), and some other stuff that comes in handy from time to time like size in bytes, originating machine, driver type, and more. Let&#8217;s not skip over the centralized part! All this data can be found in one web-based user interface, and the scope of the log can be for the entire organization, per user, per printer, and filtered even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reporting&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The presentation of any data collected through logs is imperative for it to be interpreted, actioned, and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoprintq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/PaperCut-Compliance.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"332\" height=\"207\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoprintq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/PaperCut-Compliance.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecoprintq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/PaperCut-Compliance.png 332w, https:\/\/www.ecoprintq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/PaperCut-Compliance-300x187.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 332px) 100vw, 332px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Executive Summary reports give a single, compelling view into your organization&#8217;s current state of printing, like the most active users or the highest printing devices. These are the first clues of where to focus a deeper dive into the data.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PaperCut MF has 80+ standard reports that output to PDF, HTML, and CSV and cover all perspectives of data from summary to detailed per-transaction logs. So we&#8217;ve done the heavy lifting here for you.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Print archiving<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Log more than just the print event (time, which printer, who printed, etc.). Also archive the whole job&#8217;s contents \u2013 text and images \u2013 so approved administrators can actually see the contents of the print job itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Watermarking and Digital Signatures<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Move visibility from beyond the print log used by System Administrator to the printed document itself, with watermarking and digital signatures. A print document watermark can be as simple as a date and username on each page, through to something more advanced like a digital signature. These visual marks are a great motivator for people not to leave sensitive stuff laying around because its origin is always visible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ecoprintQ<\/strong> is committed to delivering excellent service to every customer, providing support at each phase of an opportunity, and promoting solutions at every level.
