Medical Tablet Carts & Solutions

Use Cases of Medical Tablet Carts

Serving the healthcare industry since 1945, First Products' bespoke cart solutions help medical professionals utilize tablets like iPads, iPad Pros, tablet PCs, Android tablets and other portable computers in a medical environment. 

Every cart is completely made to order in the USA in our Lockport, New York factory to avoid delays and import/export markups. In addition, your carts are truly 'Perfect Fit'. Any combination of gadgets, devices and accessories, we can make it happen. Need kiosk carts to maximize patient touchpoints? Got it. Want a combo of a tablet and other peripherals? You bet.

Whether it's to enhance patient experiences in-person or from afar, here are just some of the ways in which First Products' Medical Tablet Carts can be integrated into your facility:

1. Telehealth and Patient Engagement

Medical tablet carts facilitate remote care and patient interaction, seamlessly connecting medical professionals at the hospital with patients at home. 

They can carry the tablet around and perform a remote consultation with the needed equipment within arm's reach. They can opt for a built-in power supply to charge the tablet when needed. And with First Products' four-step OEM process, your cart can be customized to your practitioners' exact ergonomics and the tools they need every day.

2. Point-of-Care Efficiency

• Centralized Information Hub: Mobile tablet carts act as a centralized station where healthcare providers can access patient records, lab results, and other digital data all in one place. This consolidation allows staff to pull up critical information instantaneously rather than navigating through disparate systems.

• Real-Time Updates & Integration: These carts are often configured with the latest touch computers and industrial computer peripherals, enabling seamless updates from electronic health record (EHR) systems. This means that doctors and nurses receive real-time information, helping them make informed decisions without delay.

• Improved Connectivity: With integrated devices and secure mounting solutions, staff can easily connect to hospital networks. This mobility ensures that data access isn’t limited to stationary desktops, allowing for flexible patient care wherever needed.

3. Boosting Medical Staff Productivity

• Streamlined Workflow: A mobile tablet cart brings technology directly to the point of care, reducing the need for staff to return to a centralized station or computer terminal. This direct access minimizes downtime and helps maintain continuous care.

• Reduced Redundancies: By consolidating multiple devices—such as medical monitors, touch computers, and gadget holders—into one mobile unit, staff can quickly switch between tasks, reducing the time spent gathering or verifying information. This efficiency allows healthcare professionals to focus more on patient care rather than administrative tasks.

• Enhanced Communication: With a mobile cart, healthcare teams can easily share data and communicate patient details in real-time. This is particularly beneficial in emergency situations, where every second counts and clarified information can improve patient outcomes.

4. Infection Control

• Easy-to-Clean Design: Mobile tablet carts are engineered with smooth, seamless surfaces and minimal crevices, making them easy to disinfect between patient uses. This design helps ensure that the carts comply with strict medical hygiene protocols and reduce risk of cross-contamination within the facility.

• Compliance with Healthcare Safety Standards: The materials and construction of these carts often adhere to hospital-grade sanitation requirements. For example, anti-microbial coatings or materials resistant to aggressive cleaning agents are incorporated, ensuring that the device remains safe and hygienic during extensive use.

• Rapid Turnover in High-Traffic Areas: In settings with high patient throughput, quick cleaning and setup become essential. Tablet carts designed for infection control allow for fast sanitization, ensuring that healthcare providers have immediate access to clean technology without unnecessary delays.

5. Operational Adaptability

• Mobility Across Various Clinical Settings: With a robust, rugged and mobile design, these carts can easily be repositioned throughout a hospital or clinic. Whether it's heavy-duty carts or otherwise, these medical tablet carts have the mobility to support dynamic workflows and ensure that technology follows the patient, whether in examination rooms, emergency departments, or recovery areas.
• Interchangeable Device Integration: Tablet carts are built to accommodate multiple devices, such as touch computers, medical monitors and computer peripherals.
• Adaptable Configurations for Diverse Needs: Mobile carts offer several cart styles, allowing each unit to be tailored to specific medical processes or environmental requirements. For instance, some may include specialized storage compartments for devices or additional security measures, ensuring that the cart meets the evolving operational demands of modern medical facilities.
