Empowering Healthcare Providers with Copier & MFP Solutions


Healthcare worker with technology

In healthcare, technology is more than a tool—it’s a necessity for efficient operations and high-quality patient care. Healthcare organizations are facing more regulations and are adopting value-based care models. They need reliable and innovative technology that aligns with their goals.


American Business Machines (ABM) has been an authorized Canon dealer for over 45 years. We offer Canon copiers and multifunction printers (MFPs) that meet the special needs of healthcare. With Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX and imagePRESS Lite devices, healthcare providers can streamline workflows, strengthen data security, reduce costs, and contribute to sustainability initiatives.


Simplifying Print Infrastructure for Healthcare

Healthcare organizations often devote substantial IT resources to managing complex print infrastructure. Canon’s uniFLOW Online cloud solution, offered through ABM, makes these tasks easier. It centralizes control and removes the need for expensive print servers.


Key Benefits of Canon’s Simplified Print Infrastructure:

  • Centralized Control: Canon’s uniFLOW Online solution enables administrators to manage devices, users, and print activity from a single platform. Healthcare facilities with multiple locations can now easily monitor and control their print operations, ensuring that they allocate resources where they need them most.

  • Reduced IT Burden: uniFLOW Online removes the need for print servers and minimizes the need for print driver updates. This frees up IT staff to focus on clinical applications and critical care functions rather than daily print maintenance.

  • Scalable for Healthcare Growth: The cloud-based nature of uniFLOW Online allows for the seamless addition or removal of devices, making it easier to adapt to changing facility needs without sacrificing workflow efficiency.


Healthcare providers often face challenges in managing operations and limited resources. Canon’s uniFLOW Online provides an efficient, flexible, and secure solution to help meet these changing needs.


Enhanced Security for Sensitive Healthcare Data

As the healthcare industry continues to embrace digital transformation, the security of patient information is paramount. Canon’s imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX and imagePRESS Lite MFPs, available from ABM, provide robust security features to safeguard patient information and ensure compliance with strict regulatory standards, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).


Canon Security Features for Healthcare:

  1. Secure Authentication and Access Control: Canon MFPs offer card- and password-based authentication systems, allowing only authorized personnel to access sensitive documents. This access control measure reduces the risk of unauthorized access to patient information.

  2. Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Chips: Canon’s MFPs come equipped with TPM chips that securely encrypt confidential data and credentials, including user passwords and certificates, directly on the device. This added layer of encryption protects against unauthorized data access.

  3. McAfee Embedded Control: This whitelisting technology, embedded in Canon devices, prevents malware attacks and unauthorized firmware changes, further securing the network against threats.

  4. Seamless Integration with Security Monitoring: Canon devices integrate with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, providing a comprehensive view of network vulnerabilities. This integration allows IT teams to include MFPs in overall network security strategies, creating a cohesive approach to data protection.


Healthcare organizations face mounting threats from cyberattacks. Canon’s NIST-aligned security features offer a solution for safeguarding Personal Health Information (PHI) and supporting Zero Trust cybersecurity frameworks.


Optimizing Workflow and Reducing Administrative Burden with Automation

Administrative tasks in healthcare are time-intensive and can divert focus from patient care. Canon’s MFP solutions, provided by ABM, streamline these tasks through powerful automation features designed specifically for healthcare environments.


Canon’s Workflow Optimization Tools for Healthcare:

  • One-Touch Workflow Customization: Canon MFPs allow staff to digitize, capture, and route documents like insurance forms and lab results in seconds with one-touch workflows. This means healthcare staff can eliminate repetitive administrative tasks and spend more time on patient care.

  • IRISPowerscan™: Canon’s advanced scanning and classification software, IRISPowerscan, uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) technology to quickly categorize and process documents. This feature reduces manual sorting and filing, helping healthcare teams stay organized and efficient.

  • Seamless Integration with EHR and Cloud Platforms: Canon MFPs are compatible with Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems such as EPIC and Cerner®, as well as popular cloud platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, and SharePoint. This compatibility enables healthcare staff to upload scanned documents directly to digital storage systems, ensuring that data is securely accessible across the organization.


Workflow automation not only saves time but also reduces the risk of human error, ensuring that teams manage documentation accurately and efficiently. By reducing the administrative burden, Canon’s solutions allow healthcare staff to prioritize patient-focused tasks.


Supporting Mobile and Touchless Printing Needs

Healthcare environments require flexibility, particularly when it comes to document handling and accessibility. Canon’s imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX and imagePRESS Lite devices provide mobile and touchless printing solutions, which are ideal for healthcare’s fast-paced and hygiene-sensitive settings.


Mobile and Touchless Solutions Include:

  • Canon Print Business App: This app allows healthcare staff to operate MFPs from smartphones or tablets, minimizing the need to touch shared surfaces. By integrating mobile devices into the workflow, Canon solutions help reduce contact points and support hospital hygiene standards.

  • Secure Document Release with uniFLOW Online: The uniFLOW Online Print & Scan App holds documents in a queue until authorized personnel release them. This feature prevents sensitive information from remaining unattended on output trays and reduces the risk of information leaks.


Canon’s mobile and touchless printing capabilities offer healthcare providers flexibility, control, and security—key elements in maintaining a safe and efficient healthcare environment.


Promoting Sustainable Practices in Healthcare

Sustainability is increasingly a priority for healthcare organizations as they aim to reduce environmental impact and align with eco-friendly initiatives. ABM’s Canon MFP solutions support healthcare providers in achieving their sustainability goals through energy-efficient technologies and environmentally conscious designs.


Canon’s Sustainability Features for Healthcare Organizations:

  • ENERGY STAR® and EPEAT Certified Devices: Canon MFPs are ENERGY STAR® certified and meet EPEAT standards, meaning they consume less energy and meet environmental standards for sustainable design.

  • Eco-Friendly Controls: Canon’s uniFLOW Online software allows administrators to implement double-sided printing and default black-and-white settings, helping to minimize paper and toner usage.

  • Toner Cartridge Recycling and Staple-Free Stapling: Canon offers recycling programs for toner cartridges and staple-free stapling options, reducing the environmental impact associated with traditional printing supplies.


With these sustainable features, healthcare providers can meet environmental goals, reduce operational costs, and contribute positively to their communities.
