Healthcare Computers on Wheels Roll With a Changing Economy

In 2023 and beyond, the healthcare industry is facing the challenge of reordering workflows and productivity to fend off rising costs that will inevitably be transferred to the patient, making healthcare even more unaffordable than it currently is. Within the healthcare delivery sector, a fleet of cutting-edge mobile medical workstations on wheels addresses the four imperatives necessary to thrive in the coming years, as outlined by McKinsey & Company.

McKinsey and Company’s Four Imperatives for Healthcare Delivery

According to the global management consulting firm, healthcare is set to undergo an acceleration in costs of $600 billion by 2027. A report from the last recession (2007-2009), indicated that the most resilient companies meaningfully reordered their sectors to accommodate change with flexibility and foresight. They ultimately outperformed their competitors, with nearly 70% remaining on the top quintile of performers through 2019.In order to thrive in the coming years, healthcare delivery businesses must do the following:

  1. Improve healthcare by transforming the delivery of care
  2. Improve clinical productivity
  3. Apply new and existing technology
  4. Simplify administrative procedures

WoW carts equipped with all the tools necessary to access patient information, administer medication, take vitals, and run basic evaluations like EKGs without ever having to move the patient streamline workflows and help keep patients resting easy.

Improving Clinical Productivity

In almost every industry, improving productivity poses the risk of sacrificing quality; and most businesses are careful to evaluate quality control factors before making significant changes. However, it’s especially important in the healthcare industry to ensure this does not happen. No one wants sicker patients for the sake of faster service.Mobile medical computing workstation with an ergonomic design improve the quality of patient care and productivity by bringing tasks to the point of care.
