“Lexmark Healthcare represents the breadth of our offerings to the healthcare industry as we help provider organizations connect information silos to become more interoperable and achieve peak performance,” said Todd Hamblin, chief marketing officer, Lexmark. “We know that health systems are challenged with exponentially growing volumes of clinical and business content. Departments and information are disconnected from each other and patient content is scattered across and beyond the enterprise, making it difficult for healthcare professionals to make informed decisions, both clinical and business. Lexmark Healthcare uniquely brings this disparate information together within the EHR and other core applications.”
