How to Set Up Healthcare Mobility Solutions for Long-Term Success

For most healthcare organizations, the decision to deploy clinical mobility technology is driven by a need for optimized team communications. 

As the pandemic spread, hospitals responded by integrating virtual care platforms within their existing technology investments. For some, this involved purchasing more mobile devices and tablets to expand virtual rounding and telehealth as a surge in high-risk COVID-19 patients filled hospital beds and strained supplies of protective equipment. 

The devices also have boosted the speed and accuracy of care — particularly at shift change, when information is often lost in translation. Still, adapting technology introduces its own set of challenges, including the provisioning of new devices and deployment of video platforms.
