Electronic Health Reporter

In this series, we are featuring some of the thousands of vendors who will be participating in the HIMSS15 conference and trade show. Through it, we hope to offer readers a closer look at some of the solution providers who will either be in attendance – with a booth showcasing and displaying key products and offerings – or that will have a presence of some kind at the show – key executives in attendance or presenting, for example.

Hopefully this series will give you a bit more useful information about the companies that help make this event, and the industry as a whole, so exciting.

Elevator Pitch

In a market where healthcare organizations are constantly challenged to do more with less, Panasonic provides a broad range of hardware and software solutions that make it easier for clinicians and healthcare facilities to provide every individual with the best patient experience possible.

About Statement

The Panasonic Healthcare Solutions team focuses on operational areas of patient care and provider support, including mobility, imaging, IT services, document management and unified communications.

Services and Products Offered

Mobile computing, security solutions, digital signage/way-finding solutions, audio visual solutions, internal communication systems, document imaging systems, and medical vision systems.

Problems Solved

Panasonic can equip clinicians and healthcare facilities with the tools they need to operate smoothly and efficiently – from tablets that enable doctors to pull up patient information on-the-spot to interactive kiosks that direct visitors on where to go. Technology that promotes productivity within a healthcare facility – from maintaining a digitally based record system to giving clinicians more face time with their patients – are steps that can improve the patient experience and overall health outcomes.

Value Proposition

Healthcare systems must ensure that they not only provide a safe place for quality care but also offer advancements that can deliver a great patient experience, increasing patient satisfaction and improving outcomes. Panasonic offers a wide range of products and customizable solutions that can help hospitals deliver a connected continuum of care.

Key Messages

Better technology leads to better patient outcomes, but Panasonic goes far beyond the traditional product provider role by becoming an established technology partner to our customers. We are a single resource for all technology needs, offering seamless integration and interoperability of enterprise grade technology solutions in healthcare facilities.

Industry Outlook (What’s the most important, trend, topic or challenge the organization faces?)

One of the most important things to watch in healthcare is the “connected health” trend. Vendors need to remember that patient care doesn’t exist only within exam room walls anymore. Panasonic provides a complete portfolio of customer-inspired healthcare solutions designed to improve treatment, enhance provider collaboration, reduce errors and improve patient outcomes at every step along the patient journey.
