The recent Webinar Wednesday presentation “Effectiveness for Every Device” was sponsored by Medigate and eligible for 1 credit from the ACI.
In this 60-minute webinar, expert Samuel Hill, director of product marketing at Medigate, discussed how health care delivery organizations (HDOs) are challenged with getting the most out of their connected devices. Whether they’re spending valuable time looking for devices or manually inputting clinical data, these gaps make it difficult for healthcare technology management (HTM) and IT teams to do their jobs. Hill discussed how Medigate empowers HDOs with industry-leading visibility and accurate device data to inform operational workflows and maximize the effectiveness of teams and devices. In this webinar, attendees were able to learn how Medigate can help them connect with confidence.
Attendees were able to gather additional information via a question-and-answer session following Hill’s presentation. One question was, “What if the device is not online? How do you track location?”
Hill applauded the question and provided a thoughtful answer.
“This is a very astute question asker. Whoever asked that question, thank you for it. It’s wonderful,” Hill said. “So obviously, if we’re tracking network connection and network location for a device, that could be something that’s a challenge if the device is turned off, and is not connecting to the network. So, we are integrating and have integrated with some of the real-time location system vendors to incorporate that real-time location, whether it’s an RFID tag or some type of thing, the Bluetooth, whatever is on the device itself, to report into the system. So, we can get that real-time information about a device’s location.”
Hill also fielded questions regarding hidden devices, device security, location accuracy and more.
The webinar was well attended with 71 individuals tuning in for the live presentation. The webinar is also available for on-demand viewing at WebinarWednesday.live.
Attendees provided feedback via a. post-webinar survey that included the question, “What do you like best about the Webinar Wednesday series?”
“The details about the devices and the high method of comprehension,” Biomedical Technician R. El Ahmar said.
“Webinar Wednesday helps keep me in the loop on what is new and happening in HTM. I also like that it is an easy way to keep up my CBET certification,” said J. Wilkolak, CBET.
“Very interesting. Brought up several questions that I could forward on to our clinical engineer to see what our current capabilities are,” Biomed Supervisor Eastern Region D. Warmker said.
