SigmaCare, a provider of point-of-care technology and professional services for the long-term healthcare industry, reportedly is deploying Motorola (News - Alert) enterprise mobility solutions across 20 long-term care facilities.

 

One of the facilities participating in the deployment is Sands Point Center for Health & Rehabilitation, a 180-bed healthcare facility located in Port Washington, New York. The center sought to improve communication between patients and physicians, and went live with the Motorola enterprise mobility solution in October.

 

Now, with enhanced documentation and efficiency, the center says it’s looking to realize a 450 percent return on investment over five years. Also, the anticipated revenue increase of $3.9 million over the duration of the five-year contract is projected to increase the center’s valuation by more than $10.8 million.

 

All over the world, healthcare organizations get a proven, reliable platform for bringing mobile applications to the point of care with Motorola enterprise WLAN solutions. They can also meet HIPAA security requirements with this solution.

 

Motorola delivers complete mobility solutions for hospitals, long-term care facilities and physician offices with its end-to-end portfolio – including both WLAN and the MC70 EDAs – and seamless integration with partners such as SigmaCare.

 

SigmaCare installed Motorola WS5100 Wireless Switches and AP300 Access Ports, offering enterprise-grade wireless coverage, and Motorola MC70 EDAs that provide mobile access to critical data. This was done to support the SigmaCare mobile EMR system and enable always-on wireless delivery of vital clinical applications throughout each long-term care facility.

 

With this, physicians, nurses and the entire interdisciplinary team can access patient information and other EMR data in real-time at the point-of-care. Functions such as documentation, decision-making processes and patient care are improved with this process. It also increases workflow efficiencies and revenue, apart from reducing paperwork and operational costs. Sands Point plans to implement Motorola LS4278 barcode scanners to manage the distribution of medications.

 

“The combination of Motorola’s WLAN and bedside mobile computers with SigmaCare’s EMR brings tremendous gains to both patient safety and the ability of caregivers to spend more time with their patients,” said Jeff Schou, senior director of Global Healthcare Solutions at Motorola Enterprise Mobility business.
