The health care community is undergoing an IT upheaval. New technology is making its way into every facet of the industry, benefitting both patients and medical teams. The one tool that has made itself indispensable is the mobile computer cart.

These carts hold all the needed technology and quickly move from one place to another. They include height adjustment to tailor their use to whoever is using them.

Since the electronic health record systems were adopted and accepted into care-provider offices, mobile computer carts have inundated the medical field. These carts provide accessibility, promptness, and confidentiality to both the patient and caregiver.

With the advent of mobile computer carts, patients have enjoyed quicker wait times, prompter results from tests, and more one-on-one time with their doctors and nurses. Since these medical carts are mobile, health care workers can access information and schedule or interpret test results in a much quicker time. Patients can schedule future appointments or view their test results from multiple stations around the medical office.

With all of these benefits, patients are getting in and out of providers’ offices with ease. They’re even able to view test results and future appointments from their homes.

Mobile computer carts also help keep patients’ information confidential. Since everything is shared online, through secured accounts, the risk that a patient’s history or test results mistakenly shared with someone unrelated to the patient’s care is almost nil.

All the patient’s information is kept on the provider’s locked network and is only shared with the permission of the patient. This security makes both patients and care-providers feel more protected.

The aesthetic elements of a custom cart include custom colors, finishes, and textures.
If your budget allows for it, customizing your carts’ looks with your medical facility’s colors and branding can be an effective way to attract and retain clients or patients.

After the client provides the design specs, skilled design engineers can make recommendations to improve product development, such as:

• Choose dry powder coatings instead of liquid paints. Although liquid paints are cheaper and easier to mix in any color and gloss level, powder-based paints are more durable and retain colors better.
• Select low-gloss or matte finishes over high-gloss options. Glossiness is generally more expensive, and while it is shinier, they offer no additional advantages.
• Add a textured finish. Consider a textured finish, such as sand, wrinkle, or hammer (orange peel-like). While adding a texture increases costs, they can add visual depth and tactile feeling to a medical cart, making them more pleasant to see and touch.

The days of doctors scribbling prescriptions on their pads are over as laptops and other devices take center stage. The only way to keep up with the ever-changing technological landscape, especially in the medical field, is to become more mobile. With mobile computer carts, you have everything you need, right at your fingertips.
