Healthcare Mobile Computer, Tablet & Mobile Computer
Touch Computer TC51-HC
To provide the highest quality care on every shift, nurses and other healthcare workers need to call or text physicians and other co-workers, take calls coming in from the PBX, access electronic patient records, scan barcodes to ensure accuracy in medicine administration and specimen collection, monitor medical equipment alarms and more. As a result, the average healthcare worker needs a multitude of devices, from a two-way radio, a personal consumer smartphone, a mobile PBX handset to a barcode scanner and a pager. This translates into a lot of devices to purchase, manage and disinfect to prevent the spread of germs.
