Electronic Medical Records Solution

For nursing homes and other assisted living facilities, Toughbook mobile computers provide the wireless connectivity and ruggedness required for managing digital records on the go. They are engineered to withstand accidental spills, drops and vibrations. That means Toughbook computers will experience less downtime and last longer than ordinary computers. Further reducing downtime is the superior battery life of Toughbook laptops and mobile clinical assistants (MCA's). That's good news for long-term care staff who depend on Toughbook computers to reliably access electronic medical records and instantly make updates to patient information. The reliability and superior uptime results in improved productivity, and most importantly, better patient care.

Mobile Cart and Mounting Solution

Toughbook rugged laptops and mobile clinical assistants (MCA's) are engineered to be shock-, vibration- and spill-resistant, making them ideal for cart-based use. Further, Toughbook computers can be custom-mounted to take advantage of the advanced ergonomic features built into today’s medical mobile carts. This seamless integration enables nurses to deliver more efficient care when making their rounds. Using the integrated barcode scanner built into some Toughbook models, nurses scan patient wristbands to access patient records such as medication and dosage requirements -- ensuring accurate readings and administering of proper dosage amounts. Nurses also review, update, and wirelessly revise those records on central servers. For further patient protection, Toughbook computers can be sanitized. Some units even have a fanless cooling design, ensuring that bacteria and viruses are kept contained by not sucking them into the device and blowing them out later.

Healthcare staff know that when a cart hits a wall, rugged Toughbook computers will keep on working, ready for the next patient. Because Toughbook computers are built for wireless communications and to withstand abuse, nurses are more productive and downtime is minimized, leading to superior patient care.

Patient Consent and Education Solution

Hospitals are turning to Toughbook rugged laptops and mobile clinical devices (MCA's) as a solution that stands up to the potentially careless user. Toughbook computers are engineered to handle everything from soda spills to tumbles on the floor. With magnesium alloy cases, shock-mounted hard drives and other rugged features, hospitals can put Toughbook computers in patients' hands with confidence. Patients use them to watch educational videos, read post-op instructions, view their X-rays and much more. The daylight-viewable touchscreen allows patients to fill out forms more quickly and easily than using paper forms. And it also allows hospital staff to capture patient signatures electronically. All of this data is streamed wirelessly to a central database where it is made available to doctors and nurses in real time.

Panasonic understands the need to control germs and diseases in these environments. That is why Toughbook laptops and MCA's can be sanitized using the most stringent standards. The MCA even comes with a built-in sanitization reminder and auditing system to ensure its cleanliness. And with its fanless design, it ensures that germs and viruses are not accidentally spread by sucking them into the machine and blowing them out later.

These features make Toughbook mobile computers the obvious choice for hospitals looking to reduce paperwork and streamline operations.
