Victorian Heart Hospital’s<\/a> recent integration of Zebra Technologies\u2019 purpose-built healthcare mobile devices has given staff simple, secure access to critical applications \u2013 resulting in doubled time savings for users previously bogged down by administrative roadblocks.\u00a0<\/p>\nPowered by\u00a0single sign-on\u00a0technology from digital security firm Imprivata, Zebra’s mobile devices make it\u00a0effortless for clinicians to\u00a0view documents,\u00a0charts\u00a0and photography\u00a0with\u00a0a simple and secure badge-tap.\u00a0This intuitive\u00a0automation has had a profound impact, freeing staff from the need to repeatedly log in and out of multiple systems to\u00a0maintain\u00a0data security.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bridging the Gap in\u00a0Melbourne\u00a0<\/p>\n
This\u00a0successful deployment is\u00a0encapsulated in Zebra\u2019s new ANZ headquarters in Melbourne\u2019s Hawthorn East\u00a0\u2013 a collaborative space that allows healthcare and\u00a0logistics\u00a0businesses to see this technology in action and work with experts to optimise\u00a0their own operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Brett Newstead, Sales Director of Australia and New Zealand for Zebra Technologies, said the\u00a0hospital\u2019s success highlights\u00a0Zebra\u2019s\u00a0deep\u00a0commitment to the region.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe\u00a0digitalisation\u00a0at the Victorian Heart Hospital is a powerful example of what’s possible when innovative technology is placed in the hands of\u00a0connected\u00a0frontline workers,\u201d Newstead said. \u201cOur new ANZ headquarters in Melbourne\u00a0allows\u00a0us to collaborate closely with our customers and partners to\u00a0bridge the gap between theory and execution, delivering solutions that improve outcomes every day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Empowering healthcare workers\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zebra\u2019s products\u00a0ecosystem is designed\u00a0to empower healthcare teams\u00a0by reducing cognitive load and ensuring critical patient data is always within reach \u2013 from patient registration and pharmacy automation to real-time asset tracking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rather than just deploying generic gadgets, Zebra provides clinical mobile devices like\u00a0the\u00a0HC2x and HC5x series, which offer the perfect balance\u00a0of medical-grade ergonomics, robust security, and cost-effectiveness.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
This success story arrives as the firm introduces its \u201cOrchestrated Care\u201d approach, a visionary framework designed to help healthcare organisations provide\u00a0better\u00a0visibility and minimise the human errors that can cost the industry dearly.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Zebra’s Chief Nursing Informatics Officer, Kassaundra McKnight-Young serves as the strategic bridge between clinical practice and health IT. Dedicated to clinical advocacy, workflow optimization, and digital transformation, her role ensures that Zebra’s\u00a0solutions\u00a0are\u00a0purpose-built for the actual demands of the frontline. From this vantage point, McKnight-Young noted that the administrative burdens modern healthcare workers face are significant and contribute heavily to clinical burnout.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cToday’s healthcare professionals face immense pressure from disconnected systems,\u201d\u00a0McKnight-Young\u00a0said. \u201cZebra\u2019s Orchestrated Care framework helps clinicians achieve error-proof patient identification and improved efficiency, empowering them to focus on what matters most: the patient.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Syncing the Frontline\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
To prevent the communication breakdowns that often inhibit hospital workflows, Zebra also introduced\u00a0Workcloud\u00a0Sync. This purpose-built app equips workers with multimedia messaging, push-to-talk technology, and secure task management to help prioritise heavy workloads.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ultimately, this approach embodies Zebra\u2019s guiding global philosophy: “Better Every Day.” By replacing disconnected legacy systems with a truly connected frontline, Zebra isn’t just modernising hospitals – they are ensuring that the people who care for us are given the care and tools they deserve.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A global leader in workflow solutions has helped transform operations and enhance patient care at Australia’s first dedicated…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":733735,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[64,63,137,500,354806],"class_list":["post-733734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-health","tag-healthcare","tag-zebra-technologies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/733734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=733734"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/733734\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/733735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=733734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=733734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=733734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
