Without mobility, nurses must be physically located at the centralized nursing station to view patient vital signs and the status of medical equipment in the patient’s room — from EKG machines to respirators and more. But with a wireless mobile computer, nursing staff has the ability to check patient vital signs and even make needed adjustments to medical equipment, all while moving throughout the healthcare facility.
With mobility, many tasks can be performed on the run. This enables nurses to deliver higher quality patient care, and significantly improves productivity by eliminating the time spent constantly traveling to either the central nursing station or the patient’s room to perform critical tasks.
