Securing clinical mobile communications
Hospital IT departments frequently face difficulties deploying secure clinical devices. Physicians often reject bulky hardware, preferring the familiarity of consumer smartphones. This preference creates significant vulnerabilities, compromising secure access to electronic health records and delaying critical alarm messaging. Medical staff require personally assigned mobile devices that offer a consumer-oriented form factor while safely running critical hospital applications under strict IT supervision and control.
Failing to provide acceptable devices leads to severe operational bottlenecks across the hospital. When doctors rely on unmanaged personal smartphones or avoid checking out shared devices, hospitals face high costs associated with security breaches and delayed patient care. Poor communication tools result in inefficient workflows and increased risks to patient safety when critical alerts are missed or delayed.
The secure clinical mobile communications solution
Addressing this challenge requires deploying the EM45 and Zebra OneCare maintenance plans. Together, these tools provide a dedicated mobile device policy that gives doctors a consumer style form factor they want to use. This comprehensive approach delivers increased user adoption and improved reliability for critical alarm response times. Doctors maintain immediate access to critical health data while hospital IT retains complete management over the device fleet to protect patient information.
Potential benefits
Moving away from bulky shared hardware to an elegant smartphone-like individually assigned device strategy yields significant operational improvements. Hospitals realise quantifiable enhancements in daily technology usage, staff communication efficiency, and overall security compliance across the facility.

How the solution works
Provide a consumer style experience for clinical staff
Implementing a dedicated device policy begins with equipping medical staff with a preferred device. The EM45 delivers a sleek, consumer-oriented form factor designed to support convenient use throughout clinical shifts. This device supports secure clinical application execution under strict IT control, allowing hospitals to use a dedicated personal assignment model. It balances the required robust mobile device management with the familiar usability that drives daily adoption among medical professionals.
Maximise device uptime and operational certainty
Maintaining these critical devices is vital for patient care. Zebra OneCare maintenance plans deliver top to bottom preventative care and predictable repairs from trained experts. This service provides expert device repairs, software support, and security updates like LifeGuard for Android. By shifting from reactive fixes to proactive maintenance, IT departments safeguard against unexpected failures, extend device lifespans, and keep critical healthcare workflows running smoothly without interruption.
Empowering healthcare teams with reliable communication
Investing in a unified clinical mobility strategy reduces operational costs and mitigates security risks. Hospitals gain a resilient communication framework that improves patient care efficiency while satisfying the strict management requirements of IT departments.
