In short, the Imprivata Smart Docks come with all the features of the PowerSync Pro line but specifically for charging multiple Zebra TC52 scanners.

The PowerSync Pro Imprivata Smart Docks are also available in two iterations. One version holds up to 10 TC52 scanners whereas the more robust one is capable of charging up to 20 scanners at a time.

Whichever one you go with, you can rest assured that your Zebra TC52s will remain secure, charged, and as ready as your healthcare teams.

Ways To Deploy Imprivata Smart Docks

Of course, there’s more to optimizing your TC52 scanner availability than having Imprivata Smart Docks.

Once you’ve looked into our Imprivata Smart Docks, taking certain steps can help you make the most out of this innovative charging solution.

Here’s how you can strategically deploy Imprivata Smart Docks for maximum TC52 scanner accessibility and availability.

1. Assess Your Hospital’s Needs

Before deploying Imprivata Smart Docks, start by understanding the specific needs of your hospital.

How many Zebra TC52 scanners do you currently use, and how many are you planning to add in the near future?

You’ll also have to consider where these devices are most frequently used — whether in patient rooms, nursing stations, or administrative offices. By identifying the high-traffic areas, you can determine where the smart docks will have the most significant impact.

Once you’ve pinpointed these locations, estimate the number of smart docks required. Having too few docks can create bottlenecks while too many may lead to wasted space and resources.

As with the diagnostic process, proper assessment is key.

Determine the right number and placement of your Imprivata Smart Docks, and you’ll strike the right balance, ensuring that your devices are always charged and ready for use without taking up unnecessary space.

2. Choose the Right Locations for Your Imprivata Smart Docks

With your hospital’s needs in mind, your next step is selecting the best locations for installing the Imprivata Smart Docks.

Positioning them in high-traffic areas like nursing stations, emergency departments, and near patient rooms allows your staff to quickly access and return the TC52 scanners.

Also, proximity to areas where the devices are frequently used is vital if you’re looking to minimize downtime and improve workflow efficiency.

When choosing locations, consider the available space, power outlets, and the flow of foot traffic.

After all, the docks aren’t supposed to obstruct movement, and the last thing you want to do is place them in areas where they might be neglected.

A well-thought-out placement strategy ensures that the docks are easily accessible without disrupting daily operations.

3. Integrate the Zebra TC52 Scanners and Smart Docks With Your Existing IT Infrastructure

After determining where to place the smart docks, it’s time to integrate them into your hospital’s existing IT infrastructure. The Imprivata Smart Docks are designed to work seamlessly with your current systems, but you’ll need to ensure that they’re properly configured.

Unless you’re already charged with your hospital’s IT systems and assets, you must coordinate with your IT department to establish secure connections and manage device permissions.

Most importantly, ensure that the smart docks are linked to your hospital’s network to monitor device usage and charging status. This connectivity allows IT staff to remotely manage and troubleshoot the docks, ensuring they function optimally without requiring constant on-site attention.

4. Train Your Staff

Proper training is critical to the successful deployment of Imprivata Smart Docks.

Hospital staff, including doctors, nurses, and administrative personnel, must be familiar with how to use the docks efficiently.

To this end, provide clear instructions on docking and undocking the Zebra TC52 scanners. Doing this ensures that everyone understands the correct procedures to avoid potential damage or malfunctions to your scanners and the Imprivata Smart Docks.

Supercharge Your Hospital’s Workflows, Connectivity, and Device Availability With Imprivata Smart Docks

By following the steps we’ve laid out here, you can strategically deploy Imprivata Smart Docks in your hospital and keep your Zebra TC52 scanners charged, secure, and ready for action.

This thoughtful deployment isn’t just vital for enhancing workflow efficiency but is equally critical to better patient care by reducing downtime and improving device management.
