The Hidden Costs of Paper in Hospitals — And How PurpleIPD Eliminates Them

The Costs No One Talks About

In most hospitals, the financial discussion around digitization focuses on software pricing — but rarely on how much paper-based systems actually cost.

Let’s break it down:

  • 📄 Stationery & Printing Costs – Registers, patient files, carbon copies, prescription pads.
  • 📦 Storage & Filing Costs – Dedicated space, filing cabinets, maintenance.
  • 📠 Scanning Costs – Time and equipment for converting paper to digital records later.
  • 🕒 Labour Costs – Staff hours spent filing, retrieving, and managing paper records.

These expenses, spread over months and years, are massive — yet almost invisible in most budgets.


The PurpleIPD Difference

By going paperless with PurpleIPD:

  • Stationery costs drop by up to 90%
  • No scanning backlog — documents are born digital
  • Zero file room expansion — no need for extra storage space
  • Fewer admin hours wasted — staff can focus on patient care, not paperwork


💡 Cost savings are not just about spending less — they’re about investing more in quality care.
