Panasonic Introduces Incentive Programs for Its Toughbook® H1 Mobile Clinical Assistant
19 Novembre 2009 - 11:13PM
Business Wire
Panasonic Computer Solutions Company, manufacturer of durable,
reliable Panasonic Toughbook® mobile computers, today announced an
incentive program allowing healthcare organizations to trade-in
mobile clinical assistant (MCA) devices that are not meeting their
needs for $1000 off the purchase of a new Panasonic Toughbook H1
MCA. In a separate offer, Panasonic is also offering a free
Universal Mounting Solution with the purchase of a Toughbook H1.
The H1 has redefined the MCA category by addressing many
deficiencies of early devices. The rugged H1 offers six hour
battery life, dual hot–swappable batteries, standard daylight
viewable screen and integrated Gobi™ technology in a sealed and
easily-sanitized package.
“Think of this as a ‘Cash for Clunkers’ program designed for the
mobile healthcare technology market,” said Greg Davidson,
healthcare senior business development manager, Panasonic Computer
Solutions Company. “Healthcare organizations are excited about MCA
technology, but have told us they are disappointed with some of the
initial products because they did not meet the needs of the market
from an ergonomics and durability standpoint. The Toughbook H1 goes
beyond the base level specs needed to be considered an MCA device,
which is why it looks and performs differently from others on the
market. Healthcare organizations immediately noticed the benefits
of our device because it was designed with their involvement. This
program makes the transition to the Toughbook H1 a much more
attractive proposition.”
Panasonic is also offering a free Gamber-Johnson Universal
Mounting Solution with the purchase of a Toughbook H1 – a $350
value. The free docking cradle allows healthcare professionals to
take advantage of the convenience and flexibility of mounting the
Toughbook H1 device to a mobile work station – also known as “carts
on wheels” (COW). The device swiftly snaps into the docking cradle
providing immediate access to a full-sized monitor and keyboard.
Clinicians can easily un-dock the Toughbook H1 from the cradle
allowing them to bring the device to the patient’s bedside for an
improved point-of-care experience.
The Toughbook H1 and Gamber-Johnson Computer Docking Cradle are
highly sanitizable.
Offers Mutually Exclusive
The two offers – $1,000 trade-in offer and the free mount with
the purchase of a Toughbook H1 – are mutually exclusive. Customers
cannot take advantage of both in the same purchase.
Limited Time Offers
Both the trade-in and Gamber-Johnson computer mount offers are
good through December 31, 2009. For more information contact your
Panasonic Toughbook reseller, or call Panasonic at
1-888-357-1311.
About the Toughbook H1
The Toughbook® H1 was developed based on Panasonic’s innovative
engineering, resulting from its own proprietary global healthcare
industry research and Intel’s mobile clinical assistant (MCA)
reference design. The device improves workflow and eases clinical
loads for doctors and nurses, helping healthcare organizations
maximize efficiency and reduce errors.
With integrated RFID reader, 2.0 megapixel auto-focus camera
with dual LED lights, a barcode reader, contactless smart card
reader and fingerprint readers, the new Toughbook H1 is a secure
and intuitive platform for barcode medication administration
(BCMA), vitals capture and electronic medical records (EMR) capture
and review.
The H1 offers a category-leading six hours of battery life,
complemented by dual hot-swappable batteries, allowing non-stop
computing while on the move. This virtually eliminates down time,
maximizing return on investment.
The Toughbook H1 has been designed for easy disinfection,
reducing the risk of germs being spread from patient to
patient.
To meet the needs for mobility in both facilities and in-home
health environments, the H1 offers a range of embedded wireless
options including 802.11a/b/g/draft-n and Bluetooth® 2.0. The
device can also ship with Qualcomm’s new Gobi™ technology,
simplifying complex multi-carrier wireless deployments for IT
departments. The H1 also comes with optional, next generation GPS
technology allowing for location awareness with improved accuracy,
faster satellite acquisition time and lower power consumption.
