Summary
Imprivata's recent report emphasizes the growing role of mobile devices in healthcare, with 92% of healthcare leaders viewing them as essential for care delivery and hospitals saving an average of $1.1 million annually through shared-use strategies. Despite these benefits, the report reveals that 87% of healthcare teams encounter difficulties accessing these devices at the start of their shifts, leading to inefficiencies. Moreover, almost half of the organizations lack formal policies for device management, highlighting significant operational and security challenges that could undermine the potential advantages of mobile technology. The findings suggest a critical need for healthcare professionals to address these issues to enhance workflow efficiency and improve clinician satisfaction.
