Mobile Computer On Medical Laptop Cart Improves Patient Care At Delnor-Community Hospital

With the help of InfoLogix, Delnor-Community Hospital eliminates 70 terminals for data collection, gains access to real-time data, and becomes HIPAA-compliant.

Employee reluctance to adopt the technology a hospital has invested in, can result in decreased productivity, increased overtime, and an unpleasant working environment. This was the case at Delnor-Community Hospital (Geneva, IL), a 118-bed facility located in the western suburbs of Chicago. Nurses were not using the documentation software at the facility because of a lack of practicality in the way it was provided to them.

After running usage statistics on the wall-mounted devices and investigating several options to remedy the problem, Delnor chose the InfoLogix mobile laptop cart solution. To find out which technology and options were available, a multidisciplinary evaluation team attended a trade show to seek out a technology partner. Delnor looked for a supplier that could demonstrate several products from several vendors in one day at their location.
