Medical Filing Systems Now Available In First-of-Its-Kind Program Through Boise Office Solutions

ITASCA, Ill., April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Office products supplier BOISE(R) Office Solutions announced today a new arrangement with Esselte Corporation to offer medical filing systems through its regular office supply channels. Boise Office Solutions is the first office products supplier to offer these supplies.

Previously, hospitals and clinics had to go through a separate specialty supplier and wait seven to ten days to receive filing system supplies such as radiology and X-ray file jackets and color-coded folder labels. The filing systems can account for as much as 15 percent of an organization’s office products expenditure. With the new arrangement, Boise Office Solutions will be stocking more than 50 of the most popular items and customers will receive them the next day allowing customers to save time and money by reducing wait times and extra ordering costs. In addition, custom printing is available on many of the products to enable customers to enhance their corporate image.

“This arrangement is a good example of Boise Office Solutions’ responsiveness to its customers’ needs,” said Kevin France, national account manager - healthcare for Boise Office Solutions. “We are constantly working with our partners in the healthcare industry to discover ways to provide solutions for the future.”
