Telehealth For Quarantined Patients

Telehealth Options For Quarantined Patients

The top priority of any hospital is ensuring the health and safety of patients. The complications of the pandemic have made this mission that much more difficult. Doctors and nurses don personal protective gear each and every time they see a quarantined patient. While effective, this approach to caring for quarantine patients leaves room for human error. Reducing the amount of time medical staff spend with sick patients can reduce the risk associated. There are telehealth options that can help keep your quarantined patients in constant contact with their doctors, without putting either party in harm’s way.

Telehealth Made Easy For Quarantined patients

Right now, routine check ups on quarantined patients most likely require your doctors to be there in person. They talk with the patient about their health and help put them at ease. While there are some times when doctors will need to be in the room with these patients, many times there is no need.

Giving quarantined patients access to a medical tablet can reduce these unnecessary encounters. Your IT department simply sets up these medical tablets with restrictions on a patient’s access to them. Devices from Tangent like the T13 come equipped with a forward facing camera. Your patients can then use the tablet to perform routine telehealth appointments with their doctors and nurses.

Depending on your hospital’s device policies, these medical tablets can also serve as entertainment systems for your patients. Giving patients limited internet access, you can keep them entertained during their quarantine. 

Safe With Medical Tablets

Tangent medical tablets like the T13 feature an antimicrobial enclosure. This enclosure mitigates the growth of harmful bacteria across the device’s surfaces. In conjunction with regular disinfectants, this coating can help keep your patients and doctors safe while using their medical tablets.

Doctors Benefit Too

Doctors can make use of larger medical grade computers like the M24T to access telehealth appointments with quarantined patients. The M24T features a wide, 24 inch touchscreen monitor. Doctors can view patient records on one side of their screen while chatting with patients on the other.

Best Medical Grade PCs For Dentists

Your dentistry practice has no doubt gone through changes in the last year. The pandemic has updened how everyone does business. But the medical fields have been particularly touched. Dentists around the country have implemented new safety procedures to ensure their patients and staff remain safe. But what about your medical equipment? Does it promote a safe and healthy environment? Some medical grade PCs are better than others for keeping you as a dentist safe and productive.

Antimicrobial Medical Grade PCs

The pandemic has affected dentists in a much more direct way than other medical professionals. Dentistry patients must open their mouths in order to receive care, and keep them open. This can potentially lead to the spread of the virus throughout a practice. By simply breathing, patients can accidentally coat entire rooms with the virus.

Tangent M24T Medical Computer

While some medical grade PCs would have to remain coated throughout the day, others differ. The M24T from Tangent is IP rated for water resistance. The front panel, as well as the body of the computer, are fully washable with traditional cleaning detergents. Staff can routinely and safely clean the M24T after every patient without causing damage to the unit.

For an added layer of protection, each medical grade PC from Tangent comes equipped with an antimicrobial coating. This coating mitigates the growth of harmful bacteria across the computer’s surfaces. While this system does not reduce the spread of viruses, it can help reduce the risk of other infections in your practice.

Easily Mounted

Medical Grade PCs need to be versatile, especially in a dentistry practice. Nearly every one of Tangent’s medical computers is fully mountable on standard VESA mounts. VESA mounts are one of the most common standards currently in use, and your practice no doubt already uses this system.

Tangent has a full guide on how to mount their medical grade PCs in a variety of situations. They can even be mounted on medical arms.

Upgrade With Tangent

Tangent strives to help all medical professionals in their invaluable endeavors, including every dentist. No doubt your dentistry practice has adapted to this pandemic. Now is the time to not only survive, but thrive. Learn more by contacting Tangent Sales today.

How To Mount Computers On Walls And Arms

How To Mount Computers On Walls And Arms

There are many uses for medical PCs in the hospital. They can be used to keep track of medical records, keep track of pharmacy inventory, and help lab technicians in their work. But there isn’t always room in every hospital for a full desk setup that some medical PCs require. Tangent computers differ in this regard. Your IT team can mount these computers in nearly any situation, giving your doctors and nurses the computing power they need from anywhere in the hospital.

Why You Should Mount Your PCs

Tangent medical grade computers are the best medical computers
M24T Medical Computer

Mounting PCs isn’t just for looks. Many hospitals have had to ration not only their medical supplies during this pandemic, but also their square footage. Mounting your computers to walls eliminate the need for full desk setups, and can save valuable space. Of course, your medical PCs will need to be touchscreen in order to be usable when mounted. But nearly every medical grade computer from Tangent is fully mountable. The M24T features both a touchscreen and the ability to be mounted.

How To Mount PCs On Walls

In order to mount a PC onto a wall, you’ll need a VESA mounting system. VESA is one of the most common universal mounting standards currently used, and there are many systems to choose from. Some mounts offer the ability to turn or swivel the medical PC attached to it, offering more versatility.  

Once you have found a system that meets your needs, you’re staff will need to do the following steps:

  1. Find a location to mount your medical PCs
  2. Use a stud finder to find the studs in the desired location 
  3. Place the mounting system over the studs and mark where your drill holes will need to be
  4. Drill out the holes
  5. Screw in the mount
  6. Attach the adjoining mount plate to your computer
  7. Affix the computer to the mount

Just like that, your hospital is outfitted with fully mounted medical computers.

How To Mount Medical PCs On Arms

Mounting your hospital’s medical PCs onto arms is just as easy. Arms can be used to move computers to many points in a room. Many arms already feature standard VESA mounting. In these cases, the installation is as easy as screwing the mounting plate onto the medical PC and then affixing the computer to the mount. In some cases, an adapter plate may be needed to convert the arm’s system to a VESA one. 

Tangent: The Best Mountable PCs

Saving space doesn’t have to mean sacrificing usability. With Tangent medical PCs, doctors and nurses can fully utilised their computers from anywhere in the hospital. For more information, contact Tangent Sales today.

Best All-In-One Medical Computers For Healthcare

Best All-In-One Medical Computers For Healthcare

The pandemic has hit hospitals hard, and continues to do so. Doctors and nurses have had to prioritize which patients receive care in some parts of the country, rationing their supplies and time. During these times, doctors need reliable equipment that they can depend on. All-in-one medical computers help doctors and nurses multitask and use their time efficiently in the hospital. 

All-In-One Medical Computers With Touchscreens

Many people assume that computers need a full setup to function. They think that a keyboard, large desk, and a mouse are all critical components to using a computer. But this doesn’t have to be the case with the right all-in-one medical computers. All-in-one computers have the distinct advantage of being fully usable without any peripherals compared to traditional computers.

Tangent M24T Medical Computer

Take the M24t for instance. The M24T features a robust, 24 inch touchscreen. Doctors, nurses, and medical assistants can use this touchscreen in much the same way they use their own cellphones. The M24T’s intuitive design means that it can be used without needing a large desk setup as well. A keyboard and mouse are only optional, not mandatory with this all-in-one medical computer.

The M24T can also be mounted in a variety of situations because of its design. It can be mounted to walls, robotic arms, and small desks that would not normally fit larger computers. 

Antimicrobial In Nature

All-in-one medical computers from Tangent have another advantage over others: their antimicrobial coating. Every medical computer from Tangent comes equipped with a coating that mitigates the growth of harmful pathogens across its surfaces. This coating promotes a safer healthcare environment.

The touchscreens of Tangent all-in-one medical computers feature IP ratings for water resistance. This means that workers can clean them with traditional cleaning detergents commonly used in the hospital without damaging the unit.

Tangent medical grade computers come with an antimicrobial enclosure to help reduce the risk of bacteria spread in the hospital. These antimicrobial enclosures mitigate the growth of pathogens across the medical grade computer.

In addition to these enclosures, every Tangent computer comes equipped with a fully washable touchscreen. These touchscreens reduce the amount of time your doctors need to spend on their keyboards, and can easily be cleaned with standard detergents.

Best Medical Grade PCs For Hospitals

Hospitals have dealt with a variety of new problems in the last few years. Worsening natural disasters and the pandemic have changed the healthcare landscape. Hospitals can no longer rely on many of the protocols that have kept them afloat in the past. They have had to adapt to these new challenges, creating new and improved workflows and procedures. However, their equipment may still be lacking. New medical grade PCs can help your hospital in both the present and future.

Natural disasters like Hurricane Ida are becoming more frequent. In New Orleans, the only people with power after the storm were those with generators. Hospitals in this area have been preparing for Hurricanes since the devastation of Katrina, with some even designing their hospitals’ first floor to be able to flood without damaging essential services. Generators play an important role in these preparations as well, but can only provide so much power for so long. 

Medical grade PCs like the E24B can help alleviate the power consumption of your hospital while on generator power. The E24B comes equipped with three hot-swap batteries. Together, these batteries allow the E24B to run on a 24/7 basis when regularly swapped out.

Tangent Medical Grade PCs for Pharmacies

Medical Grade PCs For Pharmacy Use

Pharmacies are one of the most important areas in any hospital. While doctors help diagnose patients and recommend medication, it is the pharmacy where these efforts come to a head. However some pharmacists are still lacking in the tools they need to do their job safely and efficiently. Medical grade PCs can help your pharmacists with reading prescriptions, keeping track of inventory, and more.

Electronic Prescriptions That Prevent Error

A widely cited study in the Journal of the Royal Society Of Medicine found that 15% of studied clinical histories were illegible. Doctors no doubt had the best intentions while writing these clinical histories. However, the fact remains that handwriting leaves room for error. This is especially true for prescriptions. If a patient receives a handwritten prescription and gives it to their hospital pharmacy, there is the chance of the pharmacist misinterpreting it.

This can have disastrous consequences for both patients and hospitals. Doctors and Pharmacists can cut down on this margin of error by using medical grade PCs to transfer prescriptions. Doctors can use medical grade PCs like the E24B from Tangent to safely send medication recommendations to their hospital’s pharmacy. After that, Pharmacy technicians receive the prescription through their own computer in a completely legible format.

Easy Access To Patient Medical Information

Your doctors have access to their patient’s medical history, and so should your pharmacy technicians. Pharmacy technicians can access relevant medical information from their medical grade PCs. The M24T from Tangent features a touchscreen. Technicians can use this touchscreen to quickly view patient information, making sure that they are giving their patients relevant advice.

Medical PCs That Work With POS Devices

Inventory tracking can be a hassle, especially in the pharmacy. Nowhere else is the level of precision expected as high as it is in the pharmacy, and for good reason. One small mistake can lead to potentially monumental consequences for a patient. Pharmacy technicians perform pill counting and inventory management, but their medical grade PC can help.

Medical grade PCs like the T13 from Tangent are designed to interact with POS systems. The T13 comes with an optional barcode scanner, and can even act as a POS system with the right software. This computer can help keep track of inventory, keep track of payments, and keep a digital record of patient drug usage.

Handling Drug Information With Medical PCs

Knowing Drug information is one of the primary tasks of a pharmacy technician. They need to be able to tell patients the ins and outs of a medication, including how to use it and the possible side effects. While the information that regularly comes with medication can provide knowledge to your technicians, the use of medical grade PCs offers entirely new insights for them.

Easy Self-Service Kiosks For Hospital Use

How does your hospital handle patient check-ins? Often hospitals rely on medical assistants or front desk attendants to check patients in. Simple check-ins do not require taking up these worker’s time. Self-service Kiosks that utilize medical computers can help your hospital automate patient check-ins, leaving your medical staff with more time to answer patient questions, perform clerical work, and more.

Easy Patient Check-In

Self-service kiosks that use medical computers can help your patients easily and safely check-in for appointments.

Self-service kiosks that utilize Tangent medical computers have the added benefit of having an antimicrobial enclosure. This enclosure mitigates the growth of bacteria on the medical computer’s surfaces, creating a safer and cleaner environment.

Support Kiosks In Key Areas

Social distancing is as important as ever. Self-service kiosks reduce the amount of contact that your medical staff makes with patients. This includes areas like waiting rooms, where patients wait for their appointments. Instead of having a nurse or medical assistant on call to answer questions, a support self-service kiosk can aid patients in their questions. These kiosks can also display estimated waiting times, the latest news from your hospital, or general health tips.

Medical Computers For Bioengineering

Medical Computers For Bioengineering

Biological engineering, or Bioengineering, is a rapidly growing sector of the medical industry. Countless engineers, researchers, and lab assistants are working around the clock to produce better drugs, artificial tissues, and implanted medical devices. The pandemic has shown that these workers are some of the most crucial to everyone’s wellbeing. These workers depend on their medical computers in order to get their vitally important jobs done.

Best Medical Computers For Bioengineering

Bioengineers require a sterile environment to perform their duties. Often they will work with sensitive components like tissues or organ samples. If stray bacteria or refuse were to infect a sample, weeks or month’s of work could potentially be flushed down the drain. While your bioengineers no doubt already have multiple sanitation protocols in place, there may be one area that is lacking in this sort of oversight: their medical computer.

Computers wholesale are one of the most bacteria ridden places that we regularly interact with. Multiple people can use a computer in one day, both picking up and spreading bacterial hitch hikers in the process. Your workers need medical computers that can mitigate this spread as much as possible.

Tangent E24B Medical Grade Computer
