Unreliable smartphones, device loss, and login delays in clinical settings
When doctors, nurses, and other clinical staff rely on consumer-grade smartphones or inconsistent mobile tools, cumbersome manual login screens and limited IT control like security and software updates can delay and pose risks for access to clinical applications. A lack of enterprise-grade management can also make it harder to keep devices updated, secured, and ready for care teams. The root causes stem from fragmented mobility strategies and complex access protocols that slow down response times during critical medical situations.
These operational bottlenecks create unnecessary friction for healthcare organisations and the clinicians they support. Slower access to communication tools, clinical applications and patient information can impact staff productivity and patient care quality. When personally assigned mobile devices are not purpose-built for healthcare workflows, IT teams may also face added complexity managing security, updates, and user access at scale.
The individually assigned enterprise mobile and access solution
Implementing a structured mobility strategy addresses the core issues of clinical mobility by giving each authorised clinician a purpose-built enterprise mobile device with full IT control but with the same smartphone-like experience for daily use. By deploying the EM45 as an individually assigned enterprise mobile device, healthcare facilities can replace consumer smartphones with a secure, reliable tool for doctors, nurses, and other clinical staff. Identity Guardian helps streamline secure access, while enterprise management capabilities support stronger control over clinical mobility workflows.
Potential benefits
Implementing these advanced Zebra solutions transitions healthcare facilities from chaotic hardware management to predictable, organised workflows. Clinical environments realise tangible, quantifiable outcomes that directly support better patient care and more efficient resource allocation across the organisation.

How the solution works
Equip clinical staff with purpose-built mobile computing
Providing immediate utility begins with assigning the EM45 Enterprise Mobile to individual doctors, and other staff who prefer a smartphone-like form factor but also need reliable access throughout the day. The device combines an ergonomic smartphone-like experience with enterprise-grade durability, security, and performance for clinical environments. By replacing consumer smartphones with individually assigned enterprise mobile devices, healthcare organisations can give clinicians consistent access to communication tools, clinical applications, and workflow support.
Provide instant access for authorised healthcare users
Identity Guardian streamlines the user authentication process. This software component provides rapid, secure access management tailored for high-pressure medical environments. Instead of relying on cumbersome manual passwords, medical staff can authenticate quickly and securely. By minimising login friction, this software reduces the time it takes for doctors and nurses to reach crucial patient data, allowing them to focus entirely on delivering quality care.
Secure and charge hardware fleets with smart storage
Proper physical management requires dedicated infrastructure to protect technology investments. For individually assigned EM45 deployments, storage and charging processes can help keep clinician-assigned devices powered, organised, and ready for each user’s next shift. This support model reduces the frustration of starting work with an uncharged device while helping healthcare organisations maintain better control over their mobile device investments.
Support accountability for individually assigned technology
To complete the accountability ecosystem, Device Guardian Access Management (DGAM) software pairs with supporting storage and access workflows. This application helps organisations maintain visibility into device use and availability, supporting stronger accountability for clinician-assigned mobile technology. Administrators gain real-time insight into device status so personally assigned EM45 devices can remain available, charged, and ready for the doctors, nurses, and other clinical staff who rely on them.
Driving operational efficiency in clinical care
Optimising how doctors and other staff access individually assigned enterprise mobile devices reduces login friction and supports more consistent clinical workflows. This strategic investment helps healthcare organisations replace consumer smartphones with purpose-built mobility tools, allowing care teams to focus more time and resources on delivering exceptional patient care.
