Epson DS-790WN Scanner Review

Healthcare IT Today

We're back again with another review of a high quality, high speed scanner.  In this case, we had a chance to review the Epson DS-790WN.  This fast, secure scanner would be a great fit for many of healthcare's scanning needs and could work great for a lot of healthcare organizations.  Besides having the core capabilities you would expect in a high speed scanner, I really loved the 4.3" color touch screen on this scanner.  While most scanners can do a lot of the same functions when connected to a PC, the intuitive touch screen is a great feature for healthcare where you…

This World AIDS Day – Reflecting on Health IT as a Tool for Advancing Health Equity and Ending the HIV Epidemic

Interoperable health IT, with health equity as a fundamental design feature, is an important tool to enable these efforts.Health IT…
