Mobile Patient Care Technologies for COVID-19 Response
When it comes to treating COVID-19, there’s nothing more important than accurately identifying and tracking patients, preventing the spread of infection, and efficiently coordinating care. This is where mobile computing and data capture technologies can play a crucial role in quickly setting up additional beds and temporary patient care locations as well as maximizing care coordination and efficiency during such overwhelming demand.
Here’s how the latest mobile technologies are helping care providers treat COVID-19 and minimize the spread of infection, and here’s what our team at ACS MediHealth is doing to help them get more affordable access to these technologies. Many hospitals and facilities have recently upgraded to more advanced healthcare mobile computers that can be used as an all-in-one device to scan patient ID wristbands, track specimens and medications, get real-time secure texts and alerts, and coordinate care with push-to-talk capabilities. Innovations in patient ID wristband printing are also helping to mobilize and streamline care. Newer compact desktop wristband printers can easily fit onto carts or nursing stations so anti-microbial patient ID wristbands can be printed on demand via wireless connectivity to an EHR or software running on another device. Then there’s the role that healthcare-grade mobile technologies are playing in helping prevent the spread of COVID-19 as well as other viruses and bacteria.
Healthcare-grade devices made with disinfectant-ready plastics and seamless designs are one of the best defenses against the spread of infection. Their materials and designs make these devices far easier to clean and disinfect, even with the harshest healthcare solvents. However, while these benefits are great for healthcare facilities that already use these technologies, they can easily be elusive for many healthcare organizations who are suffering the financial impact of COVID-19 or are too overwhelmed to consider upgrades such a difficult time. That’s why we’ve teamed up with our technology partners at Zebra to offer a timely trade-in program called GO Zebra, with significant cost savings to help healthcare organizations replace aging equipment and/or add mobile patient care and data capture technologies.
Through GO Zebra, we’re offering the latest Zebra technologies, plus additional deployment and integration services, to help our healthcare providers optimize mobile patient identification and care coordination when they’re needed most. Here’s how the program works along with some highlights of our top recommended Zebra solutions.
