Honeywell’s bar code scanning and mobility devices help organizations manage patient risks and increase the effectiveness, speed, and quality of customers’ patient care, while maximizing return on investment.

To demonstrate its ongoing commitment to increase patient safety and ease of use for healthcare practitioners, Honeywell will display the new Dolphin 9700hc mobile computer line in Honeywell’s disinfectant-ready housings at HIMSS 2010.

The Dolphin 9700hc, launched in January 2010, is a rugged digital assistant with multi-functional data collection and communications capabilities. The 9700hc is equipped with a large, high-resolution display that provides superior readability of on-screen data, such as patient information. The ergonomic form factor, designed for comfortable use and easy in-pocket storage, combined with the latest wireless technology, enables providers to perform fast and accurate bedside patient care and instantly transmit updates to electronic medical records. Additionally, Honeywell’s Shift-PLUS™ power management system powers real-time wireless and multi-media applications continuously for eight hours or more, supplying nurses with a dependable device that will last throughout their entire shift.
