Managed print services (MPS) may not command headlines, but the evidence from NHS trusts across England demonstrates that intelligent print management is a critical enabler of digital transformation, operational efficiency, and sustainability.
For many trusts, print infrastructure represents one of the most visible and immediate opportunities to support the 10 year health plan’s three shifts, including from “analogue to digital”.
Lexmark partnered with Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, Liverpool Women’s NHS Foundation Trust, and Aintree University Hospital to design and implement tailored MPS solutions that addressed their specific challenges while supporting broader digital transformation objectives. All three trusts had legacy print environments with multiple vendors and minimal central oversight.
The solution, Lexmark Smart Managed Print Services, delivered fleet optimisation, secure print management, and integration with clinical workflows.
Staff now print and collect documents securely from any enabled device, supporting uninterrupted workflows, patient safety and regulatory compliance. Lexmark solutions go beyond basic print management, enabling the creation of SMART digital forms that can be scanned directly into patient records.
At Nottingham savings exceeded £1million over the life of the contract. Lexmark’s continuous improvement model means the trusts can expect ongoing optimisation as efficiency opportunities are identified through analytics.
