Patient Care Has Changed. Print Hasn’t.
Healthcare organizations have modernized nearly every aspect of patient care, yet printing remains essential to clinical workflows. Patient wristbands, medication labels, specimen labels, prescriptions, discharge instructions, referrals, and consent forms still depend on secure, reliable printing.
Modern healthcare requires print infrastructure that supports patient safety, operational resilience, and the visibility IT teams need to keep clinical workflows running.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is healthcare print management?
Healthcare print management is the centralized control of printing, devices, user access, security policies, print infrastructure, and usage data across hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and administrative locations. Modern print management helps healthcare IT teams secure sensitive documents, simplify operations, control costs, and maintain a consistent printing experience.
How does Pharos Cloud help healthcare organizations manage printing?
Pharos Cloud gives healthcare IT teams a centralized, cloud-native platform for managing users, devices, print workflows, policies, and analytics across distributed locations. It can help organizations eliminate print servers, strengthen document security, reduce administrative work, and improve visibility into printing across multi-vendor fleets.
How does secure release printing protect sensitive healthcare documents?
Secure release printing holds a document until an authorized user authenticates at the printer or multifunction device. This helps prevent patient records, prescriptions, billing information, and other sensitive documents from being left unattended in output trays or collected by the wrong person.
Does Pharos Cloud support healthcare organizations’ HIPAA compliance efforts?
Pharos Cloud provides capabilities that can support healthcare security and compliance programs, including secure release printing, user authentication, end-to-end encryption, centralized policy management, and detailed print activity data. However, no print management platform alone makes an organization HIPAA compliant. Compliance depends on how technology is configured and used within the organization’s broader safeguards and policies.
Can Pharos Cloud support printing across hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare locations?
Yes. Pharos Cloud is designed for distributed enterprise environments and can centrally manage printing across hospitals, outpatient clinics, long-term care facilities, administrative offices, and other supported locations. Healthcare IT teams can apply consistent workflows and policies while maintaining visibility across the organization.
Can healthcare organizations eliminate print servers with Pharos Cloud?
Pharos Cloud enables direct IP and secure release printing without relying on traditional on-premises print servers. Eliminating print servers can reduce infrastructure complexity, maintenance, patching, and potential points of vulnerability while supporting a more cloud-focused IT strategy.
Does Pharos Cloud work with multi-vendor printer fleets?
Yes. Pharos Cloud is built to support enterprise printing across multi-vendor fleets. Centralized administration and universal print driver capabilities help IT teams manage diverse devices while giving employees a more consistent printing experience.
How can healthcare organizations reduce print costs and waste?
Pharos Systems International (“Pharos”) provides print insights and analytics that help administrators understand activity across users, devices, locations, and print jobs. Healthcare organizations can use this visibility to identify underused devices, unusual activity, costly printing patterns, and opportunities to improve policies, fleet decisions, and resource allocation.
How does Pharos support reliable printing in healthcare environments?
Pharos Cloud is built for enterprise reliability, with more than 99.999% system availability. Direct IP printing also allows supported print jobs to travel directly from the user’s device to the printer, helping reduce reliance on centralized print infrastructure.
