News Releases

LEXINGTON, Ky., Feb. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

• Lexmark International, Inc., a global imaging leader, today announced a new imaging solution that connects Lexmark multifunction printers (MFPs) to EDCO Health Information Solutions' Solarity® platform, one of the world's leading scanning and indexing software solutions for medical records.
• The Solarity Connector enables hospitals to use a Lexmark MFP at the point of care to capture clinical information into the Solarity workflow, helping facilities reach HIMSS Stage 7 through state-of-the-art technology to improve quality of care and patient safety.
• The solution is the newest in a suite of Lexmark Healthcare products that integrate digital and physical content within core healthcare applications to help providers make informed decisions, enable growth, and save time and money.
• The Solarity Connector takes the complexity out of the information capture process by enabling providers to easily scan a stack of documents on a Lexmark MFP without specifying patient or document types. The images can be previewed on the MFP touchscreen and are then automatically indexed by the Solarity software.
• In a hospital environment, the Lexmark MFP provides a workflow kiosk for clinical operations, enabling hospitals to consolidate devices and create more workspace for clinicians.
• To be validated as a HIMSS Stage 7 hospital, clinically relevant documents must be available in the electronic medical record within 24 hours of creation. Capturing documents at the point of care using the Solarity Connector on a Lexmark MFP enables healthcare facilities to meet this requirement.
• Lexmark is featuring the Solarity Connector at this week's 2017 HIMSS Annual Conference & Exhibition (booth #1961) in Orlando, Florida.

"We are pleased to work with Lexmark to provide the most efficient point-of-care scanning and indexing process in the market today."

"As hospitals continue their digital transformation and focus on becoming HIMSS Stage 7 compliant, a key component — the ability to quickly capture all medical record content — continues to be a challenge for many providers," said Brock Saladin, Lexmark senior vice president and chief revenue officer.
