Epic-Enabled, Enterprise-Scaled
Why Clinical Mobility is Holding Back Larger Northeast Hospitals.
Why Clinical Mobility is Holding Back Larger Northeast Hospitals.
For hospitals pushing the boundaries of care delivery, outdated mobile strategies are quietly dragging performance, safety, and staff efficiency in the wrong direction.
Epic Outpaces Current Mobile Strategies
Across the Northeast, hospitals are investing heavily in Epic to unify care, improve outcomes, and create connected experiences for clinicians and patients. But while Epic's applications have grown more advanced, supporting real-time documentation, barcode scanning, secure alerts, and mobile chart access, many hospitals are still relying on mobile strategies centered on consumer-grade smartphones.
These smartphones were not designed for clinical-grade performance. They were built for individual use, not shared devices handed off between shifts. They were not engineered to scan thousands of barcodes across floors each day, to survive hospital-grade disinfection, or to support mission-critical alerts without delay or drop. In large-scale environments where throughput matters and care coordination spans departments, the performance gaps are magnified.
Where Scale, Complexity, and Consumer Devices Collide
Large hospitals in the Northeast operate in one of the most complex healthcare ecosystems in the country. Many are part of multi-campus systems, with dense building structures that challenge wireless coverage. Clinicians frequently rotate across departments and facilities, requiring mobile tools that move with them, without losing performance, session security, or alert reliability.
Yet many organizations are still deploying consumer-grade smartphones and retrofitting them with workarounds: scanning sleds that fail under pressure, cases that limit airflow and battery life, and manually managed configurations that increase helpdesk tickets and IT burden.
The result? A clinical mobility strategy that looks modern but fails when it matters most.
Mobility Built for the Demands of Enterprise-Scale Care
Spectralink addresses this problem at its core. With more than 30 years of healthcare mobility experience, Spectralink designs purpose-built mobile platforms that meet the demands of high-acuity, high-volume hospitals. Our Epic Toolbox Partner devices are optimized for apps like Rover and Haiku, supporting mobile workflows with unmatched reliability, scanning accuracy, and alert delivery.
In large hospitals, the pressure is constant. Missed alerts delay patient care. Scanning failures interrupt medication administration. Device downtime forces manual workarounds that burn time and increase errors. And shared-use complexity can expose hospitals to security risk, privacy violations, or compliance gaps.
Spectralink's Versity platform is built for the real world of hospital workflows.
Shared devices are ready for secure multi-user access without reboots or re-logins. Barcode scanning is fast and precise, with no external sleds required. Devices are drop-resistant, easily sanitized, and tuned for enterprise-grade voice quality, whether in the ED, ICU, or ambulatory units.

But it's not just about hardware. Spectralink's Versity clinical mobility solution brings visibility and control to IT and operations leaders across the region. You get real-time fleet insights, battery analytics, device performance reports, and support tools that reduce ticket volume and enable proactive management.
For hospitals already stretched thin, this operational control can directly translate into time saved and improved care.
In the Northeast, clinical standards are high, and the pace of care is relentless. Compromises in mobile strategy may not surface on day one, but they add up - a device missed here, a dropped alert there, a scanner that fails mid-shift. Over time, these fractures wear down clinicians and undermine the investments you've made in Epic, workflow redesign, and care transformation.
Spectralink helps hospitals in the Northeast bridge the gap between clinical ambition and mobile execution. We bring a solution that scales with your environment, adapts to your complexity, and supports your clinicians without compromise.
