Melville, NY (Feb. 21, 2019) — With health care providers facing pressure to improve patient care, reduce errors, and ensure regulatory compliance due to strict patient-privacy mandates, Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is honored to be named the recipient of the 2019-2020 BLI PaceSetter Award for Health Care in the Hospital Networks category for the second time.
Awarded by Keypoint Intelligence – Buyers Lab, this award celebrates OEMs that offer impressive portfolios of devices, solutions and services that can help providers navigate the dynamic health care industry.
“With rising costs and strict security and regulatory requirements, the health care industry faces ongoing pressure to streamline operations to prioritize patient care,” said Jamie Bsales, director, solutions analysis at Keypoint Intelligence. “We commend Canon for its widespread suite of solutions – ranging from hardware, software and medical devices – that help address multiple pain points for hospital networks.”
While Keypoint Intelligence recognized Canon’s strong solutions portfolio, which includes the imageRUNNER ADVANCE, imageCLASS, and imageFORMULA series, it is Canon’s attention to data security and privacy priorities that received notable applause.
