# The Future of Healthcare Mobility: Secure, Connected, and Purpose-Built

 May 28, 2025

Modern healthcare doesn’t stop moving—and neither should your technology. From patient admissions to bedside care to discharge, mobile technology plays a critical role in improving efficiency, communication, and outcomes. That’s why healthcare organizations are turning to **Zebra’s purpose-built mobile solutions**, with support from Strategic Systems, to stay connected, secure, and one step ahead.

### **The Shift Toward Clinical Mobility**

Gone are the days of desktop computers at nurses’ stations and paper-based documentation. Clinicians now rely on mobile devices to:

- Access electronic health records (EHR)
- Scan patient wristbands for positive ID
- Document vitals and care in real-time
- Communicate securely with physicians and care teams
- Manage medication administration with barcode scanning

But not all mobile devices are fit for healthcare. Consumer-grade phones and tablets often fail to meet infection control, security, and integration standards. That’s where Zebra’s healthcare-grade devices come in.

### **Built for Front Lines: Zebra Healthcare Devices**

**TC52-HC and TC21-HC Mobile Computers****  
**Designed specifically for healthcare, these Android™ mobile computers offer advanced barcode scanning, high-resolution displays, disinfectant-ready housings, and hot-swappable batteries. Ideal for nurses, clinicians, and mobile caregivers.

**DS9900-HC Series Scanners****  
**Purpose-built for healthcare, these scanners are sealed to IP52 standards and can withstand constant cleaning. Use them for patient ID, medication scans, and specimen tracking.

**ZD510-HC Wristband Printer****  
**Print secure, scannable patient ID wristbands in seconds. The antimicrobial housing and healthcare-grade design reduce infection risk while improving positive patient ID compliance.

**ET4x-HC Tablets****  
**Lightweight, disinfectant-ready tablets that support telehealth, mobile rounding, and digital documentation from anywhere in the facility.

### **Why Purpose-Built Mobility Matters**

**Infection Control Compliance****  
**All Zebra healthcare devices are **disinfectant-ready**, with sealed housings that can be safely wiped down between uses—reducing the risk of cross-contamination.

**HIPAA-Ready Security****  
**With Zebra Mobility DNA, IT teams can remotely manage, lock down, and secure devices to protect patient data and maintain HIPAA compliance.

**Faster, More Accurate Patient Care****  
**Real-time access to records and alerts allows clinicians to act quickly and confidently. Scanning wristbands and medications ensures **5 Rights** compliance.

**Improved Staff Communication****  
**With secure voice and messaging tools built into Zebra devices, care teams can coordinate instantly—without relying on consumer messaging apps or overhead paging.
