Are Consumer-Grade Devices Putting Your EMS Patient Care at Risk?
Statewide Transfer Ambulance & Rescue (STAR), a leading provider of ambulance transport services, faced challenges with their previous digitized EMS charting devices. Their consumer grade tablets, even with a protective case, were not able to withstand the tough environment in which they were used. Additionally, the proprietary operating system caused frequent hardware and software issues, leading to expensive repairs and replacements, and hindered productivity.
To address these challenges, STAR looked to Panasonic Connect’s rugged device family and selected the Panasonic TOUGHBOOK® G2. Equipped with a Windows® web-based EMS software application, EMTs can complete their daily workflows efficiently and effectively, saving time and allowing them to spend more time with patients.
Benefits of the TOUGHBOOK G2 for STAR include:
- Durability and reliability, reducing repair and replacement costs
- Docking capabilities for secure in-vehicle mounting, optimal device usability, and charging to keep teams ready to respond quickly
- Improved productivity and efficiency, thanks to faster and more consistent charting and record management
- Simplified device support through remote access with Panasonic Connect Professional Services
- Easy cleaning and sanitization
