ATLANTA -- The recent acquisition of Affiliated Computer Services,
Inc. (ACS) makes Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) the largest provider to
manage all
document and
business
process needs within a healthcare organization – from
clinical and operational to financial and administrative. Healthcare
patients, payers and providers will benefit from the combined expertise
of both companies with improved access to information, new opportunities
for cost savings, and outstanding customer service.
Xerox works with healthcare organizations to manage documents that
support their business, such as forms, medical records, manuals and
patient educational materials. Through
ACS, now a Xerox
company, it also manages all aspects of healthcare programs, healthcare
IT, clinical workflows, administration and patient accounting, care and
disease management, and business office and revenue cycle operations.
“As healthcare undergoes transition, providers face the challenge
of keeping their focus on patients despite the distraction of new IT and
process requirements,” said
John Kelly, president,
Xerox Global Services North America. “Having a single point of contact
for all document and business process management needs will help
organizations keep a steely focus on their real business – patient care
and outcomes.”
Xerox delivers powerful technological solutions that improve the
delivery of care, providing document and business process management
through the following services:
Patient Records: Capturing and linking static
documents into electronic patient records as well as implementing and
managing Health Information System (HIS) software, provides clients with
a comprehensive electronic medical records solution – offering a fast
and cost-effective way to manage patient information.
Provider and Patient Communications: From
pre-admission to patient discharge and recovery, integrated services
from Xerox and ACS, A Xerox Company, help providers transform data and
documents used throughout the process into information that educates
patients, improving the healthcare experience.
Government Program Administration: With expertise
in state and other publicly-funded healthcare programs, Xerox is in a
strong position to provide states with the analytics and data necessary
to address “Meaningful Use” requirements for Electronic Health Records
(EHR) systems. Through ACS, Xerox offers a full spectrum of systems and
complementary services from care management solutions and child health
programs to pharmacy benefits management and traditional Medicaid fiscal
agent services.
Commercial Programs: The company provides multiple
industries, including hospitals, clinics, and medical practitioners
around the world with information technology, clinical solutions and
management services so providers can operate more efficiently and
effectively.
Building on a Legacy of Healthcare Leadership
Xerox has spent decades helping healthcare organizations achieve
greater cost savings, regulatory compliance and efficiencies throughout
their infrastructure including:

cutting millions from its annual operating spend by working with Xerox
to better manage the documents flowing through its 23 facilities – and
the costs associated with printing, sharing and updating them.
- Marin General Hospital: Through
ACS, Xerox helps Calif.-based Marin General Hospital save $2 million
annually with an enterprise-wide hospital information and EHR system.
- University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
(UPMC): UPMC tapped Xerox to reduce office printing costs and
