With Coronavirus vaccine administration in full swing, keeping on track with your distribution timeline is an essential but vulnerable process. It can be difficult and stressful to monitor and track the vaccines as they travel through the supply chain from production and shipping to pharmacy and patients. With the added concern of volatile vaccine expiration, it is crucial that you have access to your HIS software at a moment’s notice through your mobile device. However, long workdays may drain your phone battery and taking the time to manually enter barcodes into your mobile device is an avoidable stress in your staff’s daily workflow.

With the healthcare industry in mind, Code Corporation has designed a barcode scanning solution for your iOS and Android mobile devices to convert the built-in camera into an enterprise-grade barcode scanner. Their disinfectant-ready, fully enclosed iPhone battery cases will also increase efficiency in your healthcare operations by reducing downtime from low batteries.

Convert Your iPhone Camera into a Barcode Scanner with Code’s Cortex Decoder Software

Does your HIS offer integrated mobile barcode scanning? With growing concerns about reducing patient care costs and mobile device maintenance costs, it is now more critical than ever that fewer devices take care of a greater number of tasks. With many hospitals and pharmacies already in possession of iOS phones and tablets, the added expense of a separate scanner can be difficult to budget.

Combining the familiarity of smartphones with enterprise-grade functionality and reliability, Code’s Cortex Decoder software transforms your iOS or Android device’s built-in camera into a fully functioning enterprise-level barcode scanner. Offered in annual licenses, this software gives you the chance to kill two birds with one phone. You can now operate your EHR software while using the built-in camera on the device to scan barcodes as well.

Smartphones have transformed the way healthcare providers communicate, and these mobile devices are poised to revolutionize the way hospitals deliver care in 2014 and beyond.

Texting long ago surpassed voice calls as the favored method of communication among the general population, and it is rapidly gaining favor in hospitals. Doctors and nurses already exchange patient related texts on their own personal phones at many facilities, and as more hospitals issue mobile devices to employees, the ability to communicate quickly and access and update patient data on the move has become a critical function.

Deploying mobile, flexible, and reliable IT tools to caregivers is a top priority for provider organizations that not only need to meet new regulatory and technology requirements, but want to do so efficiently. At Cedars-Sinai Hospital in California, for example, the combination of smartphones and a new software solution to help prioritize alarms resulted in faster response times for emergency conditions, and a 50 percent reduction in overhead pages. Laboratory values are received 10 minutes faster and nurses are able to spend more time at the bedsides of patients who require their attention, according to a case study published by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

With the wide acceptance of smartphones and tablets, more and more businesses are looking to leverage iPhones, iPads, and iPods for a variety of data collection and tracking needs. One of the main challenges encountered when using an iOS device is being able to scan barcodes and read the magnetic stripe on credit/debit cards. While there are scanner apps to use a camera as a barcode reader, businesses that will have a consistent scan volume or need for accuracy will find this to be slow and cumbersome. This is where a dedicated scanner sled is the perfect solution.

The range of sleds currently available can provide 1D or 2D scanning and some models add MSR and RFID reading. The chart below is a simple breakdown of the various sleds, their capabilities, and which iOS devices they are compatible with.
