In 2026, your print + IT + security stack has to protect PHI and keep patients moving.
You’re managing patient flow, staffing constraints, and rising security expectations. ABT helps you standardize your device fleet, strengthen day-to-day IT operations, tighten print governance, and modernize access control— so you reduce risk without slowing staff down.
Why healthcare teams choose ABT
You’re not buying “a copier” or “IT support.” You’re protecting clinical and administrative workflows that touch PHI—every day. ABT helps you standardize, secure, and support the full environment: devices, print, IT, and physical access.
Security you can enforce
Secure print release, role-based controls, device hardening, and audit-friendly reporting—configured in a way that staff will actually use.
Department-fit devices
Front desk, billing, and HIM/ROI have different realities. You’ll right-size scanning, finishing, capacity, and placement to prevent daily slowdowns.
One plan across service lines
Print issues often overlap with network, identity, and endpoint controls. ABT helps you connect the dots so problems don’t bounce between vendors.
Devices for healthcare: secure, consistent, and built for scanning
In 2026, MFPs are network endpoints. Your selection criteria should prioritize authentication, duplex scan reliability, security configuration, and standardized “one-touch” scanning for repeatable workflows.
What to standardize across every site
- Secure print release: badge/PIN release so PHI doesn’t sit in output trays.
- Consistent scan buttons: Intake, Billing/Prior Auth, Referrals, HIM/ROI, HR—same labels everywhere.
- Hardening standards: certificates/TLS, admin access controls, locked-down ports, and firmware strategy.
- Placement strategy: reduce steps for staff while reducing unattended-output risk.
- Lifecycle planning: avoid “emergency replacements” that break standardization.
Brand suggestions (MFP recommendations)
ABT can recommend multiple manufacturers based on your workflow and security requirements:
- Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX — strong enterprise ecosystem and configurations.
- HP LaserJet Enterprise / Managed Flow — security-forward approach for regulated environments.
- Epson WorkForce Enterprise AM-Series — heat-free tech options for speed + efficiency.
- Kyocera TASKalfa — durable platforms with strong cost control for busy departments.
- FUJIFILM Apeos — modern UI + security features with scalable A3/A4 options.
- Xerox AltaLink / VersaLink — workflow apps and robust management capabilities.
Front desk + check-in
Compact footprint, fast first page, secure release, reliable scan-to-intake for IDs and insurance.
- Badge/PIN release for shared areas
- Simple scan buttons with naming rules
- Quiet operation and easy supply management
Billing + authorizations
Packet workflows, consistent naming, and governance that reduces re-sends and “lost” paperwork.
- High-volume scanning + finishing where needed
- Reporting by department/cost center
- Policy controls (duplex defaults, color controls)
HIM / ROI + admin hubs
Heavy scanning, role-based access, and audit-friendly controls for sensitive records.
- Fast duplex scanning + durable feeders
- Secure destinations + retention governance
- Hardened configuration baselines
Managed Print Services (MPS): control cost, reduce risk, keep clinics running
MPS in 2026 is more than toner and break/fix. It’s print governance: visibility, security controls, reporting, and standardization— especially where PHI could be exposed.
What you get with ABT Managed Print
- Proactive monitoring: reduce “clinic-stopping” outages.
- Automated supplies: fewer emergency orders and interruptions.
- Secure print workflows: pull printing, user authentication, and audit trails.
- Fleet standardization: fewer models, fewer consumables, easier training.
- Reporting: visibility by location, department, or cost center.
Security upgrades that don’t slow staff down
- Badge/PIN release for shared areas
- Rules-based printing (duplex defaults, controlled color)
- Scan destination governance and standardized buttons
- Documented configuration baselines for audit readiness
Managed IT Services: keep systems stable, secure, and audit-ready
If you’re responsible for uptime and risk, you need proactive coverage across endpoints, backups, monitoring, identity, and support— without creating more vendor handoffs.
What healthcare teams expect from Managed IT
- Help desk + onsite options: fast support for real users.
- Endpoint security: hardening, patching, and threat protection.
- Backup & recovery: verified restores and documented recovery targets.
- Identity controls: MFA + least privilege + user lifecycle governance.
- Monitoring: catch problems early and reduce downtime.
Access control: protect people, spaces, and sensitive areas
Physical security is part of PHI protection. If the wrong person can access restricted spaces, digital controls don’t matter. ABT helps you modernize access control with scalable hardware, clean permissions, and auditable logs.
Where access control helps immediately
- Medication rooms & supplies: control access by role and schedule.
- Records + admin areas: reduce risk and improve accountability.
- After-hours policies: tighter control when staffing is light.
- Multi-site consistency: one standard across clinics and buildings.
- Visitor/vendor workflows: time-bound access and better visibility.
What to ask before you upgrade
- Can you retrieve audit logs quickly for investigations or reviews?
- How do you manage onboarding/offboarding and least-privilege access?
- How do doors behave during outages (fail-safe vs fail-secure)?
- Can the system scale without re-platforming?
Compliance support: repeatable controls, clearer documentation
You don’t need more complexity—you need a defensible, documented approach. ABT helps you reduce risk where PHI intersects with printers, endpoints, identity, and physical access.
Print security controls
- Secure release (badge/PIN)
- Role-based device features
- Audit logs + reporting
- Configuration baselines
IT security controls
- MFA + least privilege
- Patch management + endpoint protection
- Backups + recovery testing
- Monitoring + alerting
Physical access controls
- Door events + audit trails
- Credential lifecycle governance
- Zone-based policies
- After-hours visibility
What “audit-ready” looks like day-to-day
When leadership (or auditors) ask, “Are we protected—and can we prove it?” you should have clear standards, clear ownership, and reports you can actually pull.
- Documented baselines for MFP hardening and network placement
- Ownership for firmware, patching, and lifecycle planning
- Logs you can retrieve quickly (print, IT, access control)
- Repeatable onboarding/offboarding workflows
ABT supports compliance-aligned controls and documentation. Your compliance team and legal counsel define final requirements.
