LapSafe® smart lockers deliver a range of services that address the unique challenges of the healthcare sector, improving efficiency, security, and overall patient care.
Here’s how these services can make a meaningful impact:
1. Streamlined Device Loaning for Healthcare Staff
Smart lockers enable self-service device loaning, allowing healthcare professionals to quickly borrow laptops, tablets, or other devices they need for patient care. This reduces time spent on administrative processes, ensuring staff can focus on critical tasks.
2. Efficient IT Service Management
IT Service Desk lockers help streamline device repairs and replacements. Staff can easily drop off faulty devices and collect replacements, minimising downtime and ensuring continuity in critical healthcare operations.
3. Enhanced Shift and Team Flexibility
With secure and self-managed storage solutions, LapSafe® smart lockers provide staff with flexible access to shared resources during shift changes. This ensures that equipment and devices are always available, no matter the time of day.
4. Improved Compliance with Secure Asset Management
In the healthcare sector, safeguarding sensitive patient data is paramount. LapSafe® smart lockers provide secure storage for devices, ensuring they are safely managed, tracked, and only accessed by authorised personnel.
5. Reduced Operational Downtime
By offering automated services for storing, loaning, and charging devices, smart lockers minimise disruptions caused by misplaced or undercharged equipment, helping healthcare professionals stay productive throughout their shifts.
6. Secure and Organised Storage of Medical Devices and Tools
LapSafe® smart lockers provide safe, secure, and organised storage for essential medical devices and tools. This ensures that critical equipment is always stored in the right place and ready for immediate use, helping healthcare staff save time and improve efficiency during busy shifts.
7. Optimised Delivery and Collection Services
Drop-off and collect lockers support the safe and efficient handling of packages, medical supplies, and devices within healthcare facilities. This reduces the burden on admin staff and streamlines workflows for on-site deliveries.
8. Data-Driven Asset Management
With real-time tracking and reporting capabilities, LapSafe® services provide visibility into device usage and location. This helps IT and facilities teams optimise asset allocation and make informed decisions to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
9. Supports Hybrid and Mobile Working
As the healthcare sector increasingly adopts hybrid working models, smart lockers enable staff to securely access devices and tools, whether on-site, moving between locations, or working remotely.
10. Contributes to Carbon Zero Goals
Smart lockers' energy-efficient design and intelligent power management help healthcare organisations reduce energy consumption and achieve sustainability targets. This aligns with wider NHS initiatives to meet carbon-zero objectives.
