Towner County Medical Center Standardizes on Epson Inkjet Printers for Epic EMR Integration
Event summary
- Towner County Medical Center deployed nearly 30 Epson business inkjet printers across its facility to replace aging laser printers from multiple vendors.
- The implementation reduced printer-related service tickets from roughly 30 per week to near-zero downtime.
- Epson's PrecisionCore® Heat-Free technology enabled seamless integration with Epic EMR, improving clinical workflows and documentation processes.
The big picture
This deployment underscores the growing importance of reliable printing solutions in healthcare, particularly for rural facilities managing complex EMR environments. As hospitals increasingly digitize their operations, the demand for seamless integration between IT infrastructure and clinical workflows is becoming a strategic differentiator. Epson's success here could signal a broader shift away from laser printers in favor of inkjet technology for its lower maintenance and higher reliability.
