Gaston Memorial Hospital

Gaston Memorial Hospital was in serious need of a modern mobile computing solution. The North Carolina-based independent hospital, which has more than 430 beds, needed mobile computers that could not only provide instantaneous connectivity but also withstand extreme environments. Systems Coordinator Robert Lockhart ultimately chose Toughbook wireless displays, small computing devices that are easily carried from bed to bed.

After the deployment, emergency room staff discovered that having truly portable computers saved time searching for wired or fixed PCs and helped them provide more responsive patient care. In addition, they found that Toughbook Wireless Displays could withstand the "drops," "shocks," "splashes and jolts" associated with working in the ER, helping them provide a higher level of patient care.
