The report emphasizes Ricoh’s expertise in pre-arrival clearance, helping customers act on RCM before the patient even arrives, “where it matters most.” Other strengths that differentiate Ricoh include the ability to optimize patient engagement through multi-channel communication.

Ricoh’s growth in healthcare is being driven by a core concentration in enabling its customers to connect, secure, and unlock the power of information. By implementing information management technologies that make data more accessible and provide automation from end to end, experiences across the care continuum are improved for patients, providers, and staff, leading to greater operating efficiency and revenue capture. It’s a novel solution for evolving health systems and RCM that delivers innovation by enhancing each of the potential friction points a patient can experience in seeking and receiving care.
