Intermec, HealthWyse and Data Capture Solutions Partner To Provide Electronic Medical Reports

The durability of Intermec’s CN3 ruggedized handheld computers combined with the ease-of-use of Healthwyse’s mobile clinical software and Data Capture Solutions’ support has saved customers, like Caritas Home Care, an average of 98 hours of total annual time per healthcare professional.

The rugged mobile handheld’s Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and WAN (3G CDMA/EV-DO or GSM/EDGE) radios provide mobile clinicians with immediate access to electronic medical records via the HealthWyse software. Its size improves patient record keeping because it’s small enough to be used at the point-of-care, so procedure codes, notes and other activity can be added to electronic medical records in real-time. Additionally, its ruggedness reduced hardware costs while improving mobile clinician productivity.

Earl Thompson, senior vice president of mobile solutions business unit at Intermec, said: “The partnership between Intermec, HealthWyse and Data Capture Solutions allows healthcare professionals to spend less time troubleshooting technology issues and more time on patient care. Caritas Home Care projects that it will achieve a complete return on investment for the full deployment in less than one year due to clinician time savings, improved productivity, and reduced maintenance, support and spare costs.”
