Cost and support requirements reduced
TA Triumph-Adler surprises health sector with innovative solution
Most German hospitals are currently experiencing financial hardship. Owing to the dual financing system, new investments are only possible to a limited extent. This situation is exacerbated by the lump sum per case regulation, which further burdens medical and administrative operations. The situation is precarious. Only those prepared to employ innovative solutions can remain competitive. One successful strategy is the outsourcing of document management. More than 700 clinics and hospitals in Germany place their trust in document business specialist TA Triumph-Adler for this purpose. As the prime contact partner in the healthcare sector, TA Triumph-Adler has recently provided cost-saving document management solutions to several medium-sized heathcare institutions..
Nuremberg, 6 July 2010 – The challenges faced by German hospital managers are evident. In view of the empty state coffers, municipal clinics in particular are largely unable to make any significant investments. Doctors and nursing staff must treat and care for an increasing number of patients in an ever shorter time. Simultaneously, owing to the lump sum per case regulation, they are obliged to document every medical procedure and decision in detail. “Clinics spend significant sums on documenting and archiving patient data,” says Volker Homann, Managing Director of TA Triumph-Adler Norddeutschland GmbH. These funds are then lacking when it comes to the care and treatment of patients.
The advantages of a cooperation with a strong partner are well known to the Northern German clinics, such as Klinikgruppe Dr. Guth and Bremen’s St. Joseph-Stift hospital. Since the spring of 2010, these institutions have contracted the services of TA Triumph-Adler for their printing faxing, scanning and copying activities. They are not alone in doing so. More than 700 clinics work with the document specialist in the Federal Republic. TA Triumph-Adler consistently identifies extensive untapped savings potential and provides assistance in enhancing cost and process efficiency. With the aid of the TOM (Total Output Management) consulting and analysis concept, TA Triumph-Adler has developed a model for an efficient document workflow. The specific requirements of the clinics always remain at the centre of considerations.
"With the standardised system landscape, our costs and the support requirements of our IT employees on site are reduced. This is exactly what we expected from TA Triumph-Adler,” says Jörg Jonas, Procurement Manager at the St. Joseph-Stift hospital in Bremen. “The main innovation is the Accounting Box, which records all the relevant data from the output systems.” The current system statuses converge at a central point in Administration and can be forwarded electronically to TA Triumph-Adler, which then supplies the consumables for the devices. Furthermore, the document specialist guarantees the prompt handling of all technical queries without any unnecessary red tape, round-the-clock service throughout Germany and consistent quality, as well as fair, transparent pricing based on an individually tailored page price concept. The clinics have no investment outlay for hardware or software, which represents a significant benefit.
