Results shared at the Becker’s 5th Annual Health IT + Revenue Cycle Conference indicate that healthcare facilities both big and small are still struggling with:
Yesterday’s challenges have become today’s major obstacles in providing superior patient care. While there are many technological solutions currently attempting to solve these issues, Derive Technologies recommends evaluating your clinical mobile devices with the following questions to pinpoint optimization opportunities.
Research presented in Zebra’s 2022 Hospital Vision Study highlights the increased demand caregivers currently face to adopt mobile devices. From nurses to pharmacists, an estimated 40% or more of the hospital staff will adopt mobile devices to help prevent miscommunication, which currently accounts for at least 70% of medical errors.

As more devices are deployed, IT departments need a simpler way to manage devices. Applications such as Zebra’s PowerPrecion+ and Device Tracker assist teams in tracking battery life and device performance to safeguard uptime.
Instead of having to transpose written notes onto a desktop, modernized clinical devices running on updated operating systems can capture, store, share, and protect patient information. For example, the new TC52x-HC on Zebra’s fortified Android-OS, protecting data with:
To minimize the need of carrying multiple devices around the hospital, modernized devices can perform several tasks such as data capture and EHR reporting. This prevents additional devices from being lost and increasing operation costs.
