Smart technology is a great innovation for care homes, enabling many of our customers use our smart technology to implement a one-device policy for their staff. We integrate a homes nurse call, medication apps, care plans, patient records and any third-party application to their chosen mobile device. The technology streamlines communication and tracks activity, reducing the paperwork burden. It enables carers to be more proactive in the care they provide.
In this blog, we delve deeper into the technology and discuss the management of the devices and how Mobile Device Management (MDM) benefits care homes.
What Is Mobile Device Management (MDM)?
Mobile Device Management (MDM) is the administration of mobile devices, such as smartphones. It allows our Support Desk to configure and secure all the devices through a single portal.
Reasons Why Care Homes Need Mobile Device Management
Remote Management
Devices connected to the MDM server can be updated and managed remotely by our Support Desk without interrupting the users experience.
Increased Productivity & Flexibility
For devices controlled by the MDM services, it prevents non-essential applications and social media from being used by staff during work hours.
Improved Security
The MDM can control remote access to sensitive data, provide user authentication and remotely wipe all data from the devices if they become lost or stolen. The MDM also ensures devices are set-up to receive necessary software updates.
