Many of us know the many challenges of managing our printing and document imaging systems.  The impact financially and to our workflow can often me underestimated.  As Many organizations have made it a major initiative to cut down on printing, as an environmental, financial and workflow improvment measure.  RICOH has positioned itself as a technology company that understands healthcare and builds devices and programs with the understanding that healthcare will likely never be paperLESS... But can be paperLIGHT.  This episode explores how better devices and better programs within the healthcare space can expedite and improve communication, as well as improve workflows and even the provider experience.   Visit us at www.HealthcareTechTalk.net Twitter https://twitter.com/Healthtechtalkn LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthcare-tech-talk?trk=biz-companies-cym Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Healthcare-Tech-Talk/711048778947195

Sometimes we are surprised by the companies that are producing technology for healthcare; and while the brand name Rubbermaid conjures images of wastebaskets, buckets, practical items for the home or maybe commercial applications, it likely doesn't stick out in our minds as a manufacturer of healthcare devices. While at HIMSS 2015, however, we discovered just what wonderful products Rubbermaid brings to the clinical space - especially with regard to nursing tasks and workflows. Turns out that Rubbermaid is just as durable and versatile in the healthcare arena as it is in our own homes, and with this episode it becomes readily apparent just what a great fit Rubbermaid is for the clinical environment Visit us at www.HealthcareTechTalk.net Twitter https://twitter.com/Healthtechtalkn LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthcare-tech-talk?trk=biz-companies-cym

In no other industry is having what you need when you need it more important, none-the-less many of us will be surprised at what level logistics organizations can play a part in healthcare delivery.  It goes beyond, just getting implants, medications, tests and other necessary healthcare components where they need to be.  They must be "handled with care" to the extreme.  From "chain of custody" to "cryogenic" technologies, how these healthcare related packages arrive matters. Robin Hooker of UPS joins us to discuss how UPS implements their "It's a patient, not a package" philosophy.
