Challenge: Outdated mobile tech slowing down patient care

A major Canadian research hospital was relying on outdated mobile devices for critical nursing tasks like medication administration and patient ID. These legacy devices were slow, prone to crashes, and increasingly incompatible with the hospital’s evolving electronic health record (EHR) system.

Nurses experienced lag and scanning delays that disrupted workflows and patient care. The organization needed modern, scan-ready mobile devices that were reliable, secure, and compatible with both their current and future EHR systems.

Key Needs

  • Replace aging mobile devices across clinical units
  • Ensure compatibility with current and future EHR systems
  • Boost speed, accuracy, and efficiency for nursing staff
  • Meet infection control and data security requirements

Solution: modern clinical-grade devices with faster processors

PiiComm worked closely with the hospital’s IT and clinical teams to select healthcare-grade mobile devices built for continuous clinical use.

The new devices delivered faster processing, stronger Wi-Fi, more storage, advanced barcode scanning, and disinfectant-ready, certified enclosures. They were chosen for seamless integration with the current EHR and future upgrades.

This upgrade boosted nurse productivity and reliability while supporting the hospital’s broader digital transformation goals.

Clinical-grade devices built for healthcare
Rapid deployment across multiple clinical areas
Significantly improved scanning and processing speed

The results: eliminating device lag and positioning the client for the future

Outcomes

  • Reduced delays and scanning errors in nursing workflows
  • Boosted speed, reliability, and productivity
  • Maintained compliance with IT and infection-control standards
  • Positioned the organization for next generation EHR integration

The device upgrades led to fewer delays in patient care and higher satisfaction among nursing staff. Faster processing power, better connectivity, and accurate scanning capabilities eliminated lag and repeated scans, helping nurses work more efficiently and provide better care to their patients.

These devices now support real-time access to patient data, secure app logins, and faster documentation—freeing up time for direct patient care and ongoing quality improvements.
