Fix the Broken Workflow

Caregiver accessing patient records on iPad with IPORT CONNECT PRO Case

Nurses are burning out, and the technology stack meant to help them is making it worse. IPORT, iOS, and a powerful ecosystem of clinical apps are rewriting the caregiver experience from shift start to shift end.

60%of acute care nurses report burnout
25%plan to exit nursing entirely
10–17%of shared devices go missing annually
30%of charging cables lost or damaged each year
The Problem

A technology stack that adds to the burden

The traditional inpatient nurse relies on a brick phone, a pager, and a heavy WOW cart pushed from room to room. This fragmented, immobile stack makes collaboration slow, documentation difficult, and point-of-care efficiency nearly impossible. Even facilities that have deployed shared phones and tablets report poor results: devices go missing, cables are lost or damaged, and nurses start every shift hunting for a working device before they have seen a single patient.

The Solution

From shift start to shift end

IPORT, iOS, and a best-in-class ecosystem of clinical applications work together to create a seamless, cable-free caregiver experience. Every touchpoint is faster, simpler, and better.

01
Grab and go: no hunting, no cables

Caregivers lift a fully charged iPhone from the IPORT MultiDock and authenticate instantly via facial biometrics. The IPORT case survives drops and hospital-grade disinfectants while staying slim enough for a scrubs pocket.

Ditch the WOW cart: the iPhone is the scanner

With Scandit, the iPhone camera becomes a clinical-grade barcode scanner for medication administration at the point of care, already integrated into Epic Rover. No cart, dramatically streamlined documentation.

Clinical communication that actually works

A dedicated care coordination app connects nurses directly with physicians, pharmacists, and specialists. Fast, secure messaging replaces pagers and brick phones entirely, so decisions happen faster.

Return, wipe, charge: automatically

At shift end the iPhone goes back on the MultiDock. iEnterprise wipes all PHI over the air, and the device reaches 50% charge in under 30 minutes, ready for the next caregiver.

IT & Operations

Full fleet intelligence

IT teams gain rich, real-time visibility across the entire shared device fleet. No more blind spots, lost devices, or wasted budget on replacement hardware.

📍Location intelligence

Real-time device location across the entire facility floor plan: know where every shared device is at any time.

🔒Geo-fencing

Devices that leave designated zones are automatically flagged, eliminating the 10–17% annual loss rate of shared fleets.

📊App & device utilization

Understand how devices are used, by whom, and when, enabling data-driven decisions on fleet size and training.

🛡️Fall detection

Automatic drop alerts enable proactive inspection and replacement before a compromised device reaches a nurse.

The Result

Better tools. Better care. Better outcomes.

  • Zero cables: a seamless shift start and end experience
  • Biometric authentication: secure, instant, effortless
  • Medication administration at the point of care, no WOW cart required
  • Automatic PHI wipe: HIPAA compliance without IT overhead
