Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Electronic Medical Records (EMR) platforms help make patient and clinic management processes easy for healthcare providers by bringing paper-based processes to digital platforms. In Australia, the My Health Record system is a nationally sponsored program designed to provide a centralised resource for both health services and patients.
Hospitals, clinics, laboratories and other providers rely on scan technologies to transition their key medical data to cloud-based EHR systems. Providers requiring paper copies of charts and other digitised information are turning to print hardware that can efficiently handle the requirements of a fast-paced healthcare system.
Brother devices can enhance your business processes and seamlessly integrate with your existing architecture. Healthcare facilities that use Cerner systems can confidently choose any Brother Cerner-validated product to reliably and securely print and scan.
While EMR may suit the needs of a single provider, EHR solutions share medical information across multiple providers. Brother is proud to partner with Cerner, a vendor that connects people at more than 27,500 contracted healthcare facilities worldwide.
Brother’s Cerner-certified devices demonstrate our commitment to providing healthcare facilities with high-quality, cost-effective printing and scanning solutions that address the needs and challenges of the healthcare industry.
This article will explore how to integrate Brother A4 printers, multi-function centres and scanners into your critical workflows. These devices will help streamline your lab and healthcare processes by syncing with your existing architecture.
Brother Cerner-certified devices benefit all of your key healthcare departments and personnelHow Brother print and scan devices facilitate the transition to a digital workflow
Many labs utlise printed medical forms containing confidential patient information that need to be digitised and their paper version destroyed. While laboratories and clinics may have an existing print and scan infrastructure in place, a Cerner-certified solution can increase the efficiency of these processes.
By implementing an ‘all-in-one’ solution such as the Brother Multi-Function Printer MFC-L9750CDW, health service providers can take advantage of scalable technology that can be customised to match the needs of the business. With the ability to build up to a 2,700-sheet capacity, the versatility of this MFC ensures fast access to paper documents, regardless of the size of your organisation.
When your printed paper documents need to be uploaded to an EHR or EMR, desktop scanners like the ADS-4900W can connect to optical character recognition (OCR) software that’s built to digitise large volumes of documents quickly and efficiently.
Perfect for smaller offices like GP clinics, this device can integrate with virtually any digital architecture. Fast digital processing speeds make desktop scanners like the ADS-4900W the ideal choice for reception or front desk areas. By effortlessly digitising patient and clinic information, your frontline staff can focus on the patients that power your business. With a 100-sheet automatic document feeder, your front-end workforce won’t lose any customer-facing time to digitising medical records and charts.
The security and versatility of print and scan solutions
Brother Cerner-certified devices benefit all of your key healthcare departments and personnel. Here’s how a Brother healthcare solution can increase productivity and maintain security:
- Scanners connected to hospital networks allow doctors to use a simplified, one-button scan and archive workflow to ensure their forms and charts are stored in the correct digital location
- Clinics or hospital marketing materials printed on a Brother A3 printer or MFC like the MFC-J6957DW can convey key direction information, charity event information or promotions to visitors and patients
- Pertinent addendum to client documents can be instantly transferred to software like the PracticeMaster Pro Patient Notes section
- Brother machines come integrated with IPsec for robust, industry standard encryption, making them ideal to secure patient sensitive information against interception and theft when they’re sent for print
- Brother’s Secure Print functionality uses password or ID card integration to help protect private patient information when generating copies of digitally stored charts or data

Brother is proud to aid healthcare providers by offering easily integrated hardware solutions that work for businesses of all sizes.
Yamanto Family Practice provides a comprehensive range of medical services in south-east Queensland. With a small team of eight employees and a booming business, Yamanto Family Practice required a high-quality printing and scanning solution that could be integrated seamlessly with their clinical applications such as Best Practice Software.
To keep pace with printed prescriptions, reports and high-volume scanning of clinical information, this growing GP clinic turned to the Brother range of Cerner-certified products which fit within their needs and budget.
The Brother MFC-L5755DW was installed in the reception area to meet the clinic’s high-volume demands. Each of the facility’s five practice rooms required a printing solution for prescriptions, reports and patient education resources. Five Brother HL-L5200DW monochrome printers were fitted throughout the rooms, each scaled up to offer two additional paper trays (LT-5500). This provided extra paper storage and reduced administrative time with the ability to print a variety of document types from one device.
Yamanto Family Practice now enjoys a standardised printing and scanning fleet across the entirety of their clinic, thanks to Brother’s balanced deployment strategy.
