Fragmented patient and asset tracking
Fragmented patient identification and asset tracking within the healthcare industry create significant challenges for large hospital networks. Manual processes to identify patients and locate critical medical equipment can lead to clinical bottlenecks and increase safety risks. These disconnected processes cause significant delays in patient care and increase the risk of misidentification. Relying on manual methods makes it difficult for large hospital networks to maintain consistent safety protocols without slowing down clinical staff.
These tracking challenges can increase operating costs and create operational bottlenecks. Healthcare providers may experience inefficient asset utilisation and staff time lost searching for equipment. Inaccurate patient identification results in negative consequences for patient safety and satisfaction. Ultimately, these inefficiencies disrupt hospital workflows and place unnecessary strain on medical professionals striving to deliver high-quality care.
A connected solution to patient identification and medical asset tracking
Bystandardizing healthcare-grade mobile computers and specialised wristband printers across the hospital network, hospitals can support consistent safety protocols without slowing down clinical staff. Zebra HC50 and HC55 Mobile Computers and Zebra ZD510-HC Wristband Printers work together to address these challenges and support more efficient hospital workflows and patient identification. This approach helps clinicians capture and access patient identity and medical asset information at the point of care.

How the solution works
Empower clinical staff at the bedside
Zebra HC50 and HC55 Mobile Computers provide clinicians with mobile access to patient information and asset-tracking applications. With integrated barcode scanning capabilities, these healthcare devices help staff identify patients and capture data from medical assets at the point of care. HC50 and HC55 are well suited for large hospital networks because their disinfectant-ready design supports regular cleaning while helping staff stay connected throughout their shifts. HC50 supports Wi-Fi deployments, while HC55 adds cellular connectivity when workflows extend beyond reliable facility Wi-Fi.
Produce positive patient identification
The Zebra ZD510-HC Printers create clear, durable wristbands and labels directly at the bedside or admitting station. By producing durable, scannable patient wristbands, these specialised healthcare printers support positive patient identification at the point of care. Their compact design, healthcare power supply and disinfectant-ready housing make them well suited for medical environments, supporting patient identification workflows without disrupting care.
Elevating hospital efficiency and patient care
Connecting patient identification and medical asset tracking workflows provides strategic value for large hospital networks. Investing in dedicated healthcare technology can reduce operating costs, minimise manual bottlenecks, and support the delivery of high-quality patient care.
