These days, everyone seems to have a mobile phone in their hand. Whether you’re on a bus, in a restaurant or even at your mum’s house full of your own family, it’s likely you’ll witness at least one person on a mobile device. But what about when you go to the hospital? How many times have you witnessed nurses and doctors use mobile devices during your appointments and treatment?

According to Zebra’s Global Healthcare Vision Study, by 2022, 97% of bedside nurses, 96% of pharmacists and 98% of physicians expect to be using mobile devices in some capacity, and with the increased demand that doctors and nurses face, a productivity enhancing tool is vital for today’s healthcare industries.

As well as increased demand during their shift, healthcare workers also face workflow challenges that pull the focus away from their patient. Such as communication challenges, alarm and alert fatigue, difficulty locating medical supplies and being disconnected from colleagues who are able to assist them with patients. So, what if your clinicians could easily connect, collaborate and coordinate care – straight from the patient’s bedside?

With Zebra Technologies’ mobile computers, they provide clinicians with a command centre of communication, data capture, data retrieval and workflow optimization capabilities. Their Healthcare devices enhance care collaboration that integrates into your workflows, to give clinicians everything they need in a consolidated user-friendly solution.

Zebra’s TC51-HC and TC52-HC are purposely built and designed for the care environment, with included FIPS-140 Government grade security and patient privacy protection. The devices are also able to withstand healthcare grade disinfectants, to adhere to infection prevention protocol compliance, to put patient safety first. These devices are also highly durable, as they are drop, liquid and dust resistant, and by using these devices there will be an increased focus on patient care as your healthcare workers will be spending more time at the patient’s bedside, as communication will be enhanced throughout the hospital.

The contemporary design of these mobile devices looks and feels just like a consumer smartphone, providing your healthcare workers with a familiar interface that is easy to use. This results in less training time, for more time to be spent with patients. They also offer enterprise features to keep data and devices secure, to ensure that patient privacy is kept private.

With more storage capacity your healthcare workers can take high-resolution photos, and store patient health records. More storage also means better power to run more simultaneous voice and data applications to increase worker productivity. Such as staff communications – PBX and PTT (Push to Talk) calls, secure text messaging and sending photos and messages to other healthcare workers that can assist you with your patient.

Beneficially, with Zebra’s support agreement, you can upgrade your mobile device to Android-O, providing the peace of mind that comes from knowing that the device you purchase delivers a superior return on investment.

These Zebra Healthcare devices are designed for:

• Nurses
• Respiratory Therapists
• Nutritionists
• Lab/Pharmacy Technicians
• Phlebotomists
• Hospital Supply Chain Management

Which ultimately means you are offering a technical solution for a wide range of departments within your healthcare industry, and therefore improving your operations and worker productivity.
