Even when email and online patient portals are provided as an option, many patients opt for printed healthcare instructions, prescriptions, and billing statements. ### Print Security Challenges and Solutions For healthcare organizations of all sizes, print security is an ongoing challenge. With a variety of devices scattered throughout the organization and a largely unmanaged print environment, lapses in print security are almost inevitable. Because of these and other [information-related challenges](https://www.goadvanced.com/healthcare), it's critical that healthcare facilities reassess their workflows and print environment for ongoing security vulnerabilities. A variety of print security issues can be addressed with advanced industry solutions like the following: 1. **Card-based security protocols—** Unauthorized personnel can't print patient health information without first swiping an ID card. 2. **Data encryption—** Protect sensitive data after it's sent to your devices and before printing with advanced data encryption. 3. **Secure print trays—** Lockable print trays can be used to protect prescription paper and other specialized healthcare forms. 4. **Image overwrite capabilities—** Protect your device hard drives from sophisticated hackers with data overwrite capabilities. 5. **Job tracking—** Find out who printed patient documents and when with job tracking and comprehensive audit trails. 6. **Pull printing—** Keep sensitive documents from releasing to print trays until the user is present at the device. 7. **User authentications—** Secure your devices from outsiders with user authentications like passwords, biometrics, and ID cards. 8. **Managed print services—** Give your healthcare organization time to focus on their core duties and leave print security and device management to [managed print](https://www.goadvanced.com/managed-print-services) experts.
