Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta) today announced the addition of NSi AutoStore™ for medical documents, software that streamlines document capture and workflow for healthcare organizations. This integrated solution is another example of how Konica Minolta is executing on its EnvisionIT strategy for healthcare.  Konica Minolta is demonstrating NSi AutoStore for medical documents on the bizhub in booth #8903 at the HIMSS12 Annual Conference and Exhibition, February 21-24, at the Venetian Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas.

NSi AutoStore for medical documents, available on Konica Minolta’s award winning line of bizhub® Multifunctional Products (MFPs - print, copy, fax, and scan all in one system), provides healthcare administrators the ability to press a single button on the control panel of a bizhub MFP and automatically scan prescriptions to pharmacies or directly to electronic medical record applications.  This advanced capability results in the reduction of transmission errors, lowers costs, and assists healthcare facilities in providing more timely and efficient services to their patients.

“The integrated Konica Minolta and NSi AutoStore solution has helped us increase efficiencies and reduce errors in our pharmacy department,” said Kevin Rau, Director of Materials Management, Gateway Medical Center in Clarksville, TN. “Now, technicians can quickly scan medication requests for processing and ordering and with just a few clicks of a button on the bizhub MFPs, they are easily captured and securely transferred to our document management system.”

In booth #8903, Konica Minolta will also showcase its secure document distribution with NSi AutoStore on bizhub MFPs for US Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense (DoD) Healthcare Organizations.  DoD currently utilizes NSi AutoStore to support enterprise capture capabilities for its Healthcare Artifact and Image Management Solution (HAIMS) project.  NSi AutoStore is integrated directly into the control panel of bizhub MFPs enabling medical professionals to securely capture documents or medical images and route them to an Electronic Healthcare Records (EHRs) system from the MFP.  As a result, military healthcare providers will have access to data throughout the individual’s history of care from Theater, to sustaining base, to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

“Together, Konica Minolta and NSi offer healthcare providers an enterprise platform for easy document capture and transfer with proven security capabilities that adhere to strict DoD requirements,” said Sam Errigo, Senior Vice President, Business Intelligence Services, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc.  “Healthcare providers can count on Konica Minolta EnvisionIT Healthcare to provide them with the necessary solutions to save money and improve overall efficiency allowing healthcare professionals to focus on patient care.”
