Zebra Technologies Corporation today announced it will offer insight on the expanding role new technology is playing in the dissemination of real-time information in the healthcare industry to improve both patient safety and the patient experience in the upcoming webinar Connecting the Dots Between Patient Experience and Safety.
The webinar, co-sponsored by Zebra and Cynergy, will explore how innovations in mobile, barcode and real-time technologies are providing immediate access to information that is empowering doctors, nurses and technicians to eliminate manual processes and ensure optimal patient care, beyond the fulfillment of the EHR.
