By Insight Editor / 23 Jun 2022 / Topics: Hardware IT optimization Networking Hybrid workforce
Due to massive change in recent years, the healthcare industry fast-tracked digital strategies, adopted new technologies and met heightened patient expectations. This rapid evolution transformed industry pain points — and shined on a light on the need for scalable, mobile solutions.
As we continue exploring a new era of care, healthcare organizations need powerful technology to better care for patients, both in person and virtually.
Is your organization shifting to a hybrid healthcare system? Here are five technology must-haves to equip your healthcare professionals for success.
To make your transition even easier, they’re all found on Intel Evo vPro platform PCs, available from Insight. Let’s take a look at five key components to help transform and elevate your system.
1. Remote management
Modern patients expect everywhere care — and with PCs on Intel vPro, IT can be everywhere, too. It’s easy to manage devices that use Intel vPro technology on and off the corporate network, wired and wirelessly.
The vPro platform empowers your providers and healthcare staff to connect and collaborate more seamlessly than ever before. Your team will pivot and scale with remarkable speed and meet the daily challenges of hybrid care with increased flexibility.
Wherever your providers are located, IT will maintain complete, remote management. The Intel vPro platform permits remote discovery and repair to protect PCs throughout your entire organization, simplify support and improve the overall user experience.
2. Wi-Fi 6
When switching to a hybrid healthcare system, it’s vital that your connection is secure, seamless and stable. Wi-Fi 6 is a substantial upgrade over previous generations, consisting of many incremental improvements that stack up to an entirely new level of Wi-Fi performance. Intel vPro devices paired with Intel Wi-Fi 6/6E (Gig+) offer faster connection speeds, enhanced protected access, increased battery life and more.
Your hybrid team will enjoy studio-quality video with intuitive collaboration features that adapt to their environment. Within the walls of the organization, this Wi-Fi is built to withstand high-density environments, such as hospital emergency rooms and Intensive Care Units (ICUs).
3. Thunderbolt 4
Thunderbolt 4 is a truly universal port that connects your PC to any dock, display and data device while charging your laptop — all through one flippable, reversible cable. The technology is compatible with all prior generations, as well as millions of USB 3.0 and USB 5.0 products. One Thunderbolt port can replace all other USB-C ports on a system for simple, reliable and fast connectivity.
Thunderbolt 4 provides a 40 GB/s data transfer rate through a single-cable connection. It’s so fast that you can transfer a 5 GB file in about a second over the cable.
By choosing Thunderbolt ports, you’ll provide your team with heightened flexibility, better bandwidth and versatile connectivity.
4. Mobile solutions
While the Intel vPro is built for what IT needs, its Evo design delivers what mobile users want. These laptops are thin, light and stylish while housing elite IT features.
Your staff will enjoy instant wake, intelligent collaboration, better video conferencing and longer battery life — all while your IT team enjoys enhanced security and complete manageability. Designed with mobility in mind, the Intel Evo design delivers the ultimate experience for your hybrid staff and providers.
5. Multilayered security
Cyberthreats are rapidly growing in sophistication, making comprehensive security features non-negotiable — especially when it comes to sensitive patient data.
Intel vPro PCs come equipped with Intel Hardware Shield (integrated-hardware based PC protection), which includes below-the-Operating System (OS) security, application and data protection. This comprehensive security works around-the-clock to expand protections, reduce risk and increase visibility. With advanced threat detection to uncover malware attempts, you’ll rest assured that patient information is safe and secure.
