PiiComm supports the entire lifecycle of clinical mobile technology, ensuring nurses and doctors have reliable, compliant tools 24/7:
Manual data entry is the leading cause of preventable medical errors. PiiComm’s scanning solutions enforce the “Five Rights” of medication administration (Right Patient, Drug, Dose, Route, Time) at the bedside. By integrating medical-grade scanners with your Electronic Health Record (EHR) system, we help hospitals achieve a near-zero error rate in medication delivery and specimen collection.
Secure, error-proof admission processes start with the wristband. We deploy mobile printers and scanners that generate durable, antimicrobial wristbands at the point of admission. This ensures that every clinical interaction—from blood draws to surgery—matches the physical patient to their digital record with 100% accuracy.
Extend care beyond the hospital walls. We provision and secure healthcare tablets for telemedicine carts and remote home care providers. With cellular connectivity and hardened security profiles, these devices allow specialists to consult virtually while protecting sensitive Patient Health Information (PHI) over any network.

Read moreManaged Mobility Services (MMS) improve patient safety by ensuring clinical devices are always working and secure. For hospitals, this means streamlined communication (VoIP/Text), improved patient engagement via tablets, enhanced clinical workflows through reliable mobile chart access, and strict compliance with healthcare data regulations.
Yes. PiiComm provisions secure medical tablets and mobile carts specifically for telehealth. We enable virtual consultations and remote vital sign monitoring by ensuring devices have reliable cellular/Wi-Fi connectivity and locked-down software environments that prevent misuse while protecting patient privacy.
We implement defense-in-depth security strategies including Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) policies, device-level encryption (FIPS 140-2), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and automated remote data wiping. This ensures that if a device is lost or stolen, Patient Health Information (PHI) remains inaccessible, maintaining HIPAA and PHIPA compliance.
Yes. Our managed devices are configured to interoperate seamlessly with major Electronic Health Record (EHR) platforms like Epic, Cerner, and Meditech. This allows for real-time barcode scanning data to feed directly into patient records, reducing transcription errors and latency in care coordination.
By deploying Clinical Communication and Collaboration (CC&C) tools on rugged smartphones. We enable secure text messaging, Push-to-Talk (PTT), and VoIP calls on a single device, replacing legacy pagers and reducing alarm fatigue through intelligent alert routing.
Absolutely. We handle the entire lifecycle of the device fleet. This includes strategic sourcing of medical-grade hardware, kitting and staging devices with clinical apps, 24/7 help desk support for nurses and doctors, and managing repairs/spares to ensure clinical staff are never without their required technology.
