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

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.

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.

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.
