Stop printing what nobody collects
Digital delivery and self-service collection cut report printing sharply. For a lab printing three hundred reports a day, the paper and toner alone add up to real money.
A cost nobody tracks because it arrives in small pieces
Paper, toner, printer servicing, the occasional replacement, and the staff time spent printing, sorting and filing. None of it appears as a line item anyone examines, but a busy lab spends more on it in a year than it spends on its software.
What the software does about it
Digital first
Most patients take the digital copy when it arrives before they would have collected paper.
Self-service collection
The bill QR replaces the printed report for patients who are happy with a PDF.
Print on request
Paper stays available for patients who want it — it just stops being automatic.
No reprints
Patients who lose a report download it again rather than asking for another.
Less filing
Fewer physical copies to sort, hold at the counter and eventually discard.
Measurable saving
Print volume drops visibly in the first month, and the consumables bill follows.
Not paperless, just less paper
Some patients want a printed report and should have one. The saving comes from not printing for everyone by default, and from eliminating the reprints that digital delivery makes unnecessary.
- Print on demand rather than automatically for every report
- Elderly and non-smartphone patients unaffected
