The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/motorola\/ds6878-hc.htm\">DS6878-HC imager<\/a> extends the access of critical information to the patient\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bedside, the nurse\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s station, operating room and beyond with the highest levels of reliability and performance. Specifically designed to withstand the rigors of everyday use in demanding healthcare environments, the DS6878-HC helps to prevent medical errors, improve patient safety and increase caregiver productivity by providing real-time and convenient access to information.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Mobility is critical to healthcare organizations as they strive to improve processes, ensure patient safety and overcome challenges associated with staffing shortages,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Vivian Funkhouser, principal of healthcare solutions, Motorola Enterprise Mobility Solutions. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Motorola\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s DS6878-HC digital imager delivers on Motorola\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s commitment to improving healthcare operations with a high-performance data capture solution ideal for a multitude of healthcare operations \u00e2\u20ac\u201c from medication administration to specimen collection, admitting to asset tracking and dietary management.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>The DS6878-HC redefines imaging technology and allows healthcare personnel to scan documents such as drivers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 licenses and insurance cards for identification, as well as facial images, to quickly and efficiently create and maintain electronic medical records (EMRs). Motorola\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s new cordless imager enables hospitals to automate operations, improve data accuracy, increase productivity and streamline operational efficiencies in patient rooms, admitting, laboratories and pharmacies. Easy-to-use, intuitive and ergonomically designed for user comfort, the DS6878-HC helps caregivers focus on their top priority \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the patient.<\/p>\n<p>The new DS6878-HC is designed to reduce the spread of germs and protect patients and caregivers against dangerous and deadly illnesses. IP43 sealing, in combination with a specially designed plastic housing, creates a disinfectant-ready design that allows safe wipe-downs and sanitizing with bleach, alcohol, soap and water \u00e2\u20ac\u201d without harming the housing or the sensitive scanning components. And with its ability to withstand six-foot drops to concrete, the new digital imager provides dependable operations despite inevitable drops in various healthcare environments.<\/p>\n<p>With its unmatched combination of features and functionality, Motorola\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s newest digital imaging solution meets the unique requirements of demanding healthcare facilities with the ability to capture 1D or 2D bar codes, as well as signatures, documents, still photographs and video. Offering a single device to streamline processes throughout the healthcare environment, the DS6878-HC cordless digital imager is built on Motorola\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s revolutionary SE4500 scan engine to help guarantee superior performance in fast-paced environments. With its intuitive aiming pattern, the DS6878-HC provides laser-like performance and can capture even the most poorly printed or damaged bar codes with ease. And with omni-directional scanning, it eliminates the need to precisely align bar code and imager for ultimate convenience and productivity for the user while minimizing disruption to resting patients. In addition, Bluetooth\u00c2\u00ae functionality allows the user to easily access a bar code to minimize patient inconvenience and to provide rapid capture of information in emergency situations. And for added convenience and reliability, the DS6878-HC can be charged over the USB cable connected to its base, which also is disinfectant-ready and has been optimized for use on most medical carts. This eliminates the need for a separate power supply, and thus the typical cable management challenges associated with mounting a cordless scanner to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barcodesinc.com\/cats\/mobile-carts\/\">medical cart, computer cart<\/a> or mobile workstation are greatly reduced.<\/p>\n<p>To help keep the DS6878-HC scanners up and running at peak performance \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and in the hands of healthcare personnel \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Motorola Enterprise Mobility Services recommends Service from the Start Advance Exchange Support. This exceptional service minimizes downtime with next-business-day replacement of devices that require repair. The DS6878-HC will also be protected from the unexpected with built-in Comprehensive Coverage, which includes normal wear and tear, as well as coverage for internal and external components damaged through accidental breakage. Unforeseen repair expenses are significantly reduced, providing service peace of mind from the date of purchase. Additionally, technical software support helps to keep the DS6878-HC running at optimal efficiency \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and medical staff connected to their critical business systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DS6878-HC cordless bar code scanner inhibits the spread of germs, extends mobility and provides real-time information at the point of care Motorola announced its newest advanced data capture solution for healthcare \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the DS6878-HC cordless 2D imager.
