Fix the Broken Workflow
Fix the Broken Workflow.
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.
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 to modernize the experience report poor results — devices go missing, cables are lost or damaged, and nurses start every shift hunting for a working device before they've seen a single patient.
Shared phones and tablets vanish in the hospital every year — leaving nurses to start their shift searching instead of caring.
Nearly a third of shared device charging cables go missing or are damaged each year, leaving devices uncharged and unusable at the start of a shift.
The cumulative burden of a broken technology workflow is a direct contributor to caregiver burnout — and ultimately, to the nursing shortage crisis.
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 — arrival, rounding, medication administration, and sign-off — is faster, simpler, and better.
Caregivers walk up to the IPORT MultiDock and lift a fully charged iPhone — no cables to untangle, no scramble to find a device. They authenticate instantly via facial biometrics using the iPhone camera, and they're off. The IPORT case protects the device from drops and hospital-grade disinfectants, while staying slim enough to slip into a scrubs pocket.
With Scandit's powerful scanning software, the iPhone camera becomes a clinical-grade barcode scanner — enabling BCMA (Barcode Medication Administration) directly from the device at the point of care. Already integrated into Epic Rover, this eliminates the need to push a WOW cart from room to room and dramatically streamlines documentation workflows.
A dedicated CC&C (Care Coordination & Communication) application on the iPhone connects nurses directly with their entire care team — physicians, pharmacists, specialists — enabling fast, secure messaging and coordination that replaces pagers and brick phones entirely. Less friction means faster decisions and better patient outcomes.
At shift end, the nurse places the iPhone back on the IPORT MultiDock — no cables, no steps. iEnterprise automatically wipes all PHI and personal log data over the air. The device reaches 50% charge in under 30 minutes, ready for the next caregiver. IT retains full visibility into who had the device, when, and how it was used.
intelligence.
IT teams gain rich, real-time visibility across the entire shared device fleet. No more blind spots. No more lost devices. No more wasted budget on replacement cables and hardware. Frontline caregivers can even self-remediate common issues through automated services within iEnterprise — keeping devices in action and care uninterrupted.
Real-time device location across the entire facility floor plan — know exactly where every shared device is at any time.
Devices that leave designated zones are automatically flagged — eliminating the 10–17% annual device loss rate that plagues shared fleets.
Understand how devices are being used, by whom, and when — enabling data-driven decisions about fleet size, app deployment, and training needs.
Automatic drop detection notifies IT when a device takes a fall — enabling proactive inspection and replacement before a compromised device reaches a nurse.
Better tools.
Better care.
Better outcomes.
The IPORT + iOS caregiver workflow solution reduces friction at every point in a nurse's day — freeing care teams to focus on what they trained for: delivering exceptional, empathetic care to every patient.
