Medfinders Healthcare Staffing Selects Celio's REDFLY Smartphone Terminals for Mobile Employees
REDFLY Facilitates HIPAA Compliance, Saves Aircard Fees and Eliminates the Need to Provide Mobile Workers with Laptop PCs
SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For Medfinders Inc., the country's most comprehensive healthcare staffing company, Celio Corp's REDFLY Smartphone Terminals are the ideal alternative to laptop computers for its mobile employees. Medfinders recently deployed more than 20 REDFLYs to its mobile executives and homecare workers in its network of 100 offices and 25 homecare locations nationwide.
The REDFLY is a mobile companion device with a large screen and full keyboard that enables Medfinders' mobile workforce to access to all of the company's remote applications using the processing power of their company-issued Windows Mobile-compatible smartphones. This solution saves approximately $80 in monthly aircard fees for each worker in addition to the $1,200 apiece it would cost to equip each of these employees with a laptop PC.
Since the REDFLY has no hard drive, the data stays entirely secure on the company's server-an especially critical issue for the healthcare industry, which continues to drive procedures that allow for HIPAA compliance.
"We read about the REDFLY in the press, and we could see that it was exactly what we were looking for," said Bryan Hofmann, Director of Medfinders IT. "Now we issue REDFLYs to our mobile employees instead of laptop PCs. The devices are ‘instant on' and easy to use. If I were to ask for them back, they wouldn't give them to me. Even our CIO has concluded that the REDFLY is the only device he needs to take on the road."
"Medfinders is another great example of a company that is saving money while improving mobile workers' efficiency with the benefits the REDFLY can provide," said Kirt Bailey, president and CEO of Celio Corp. "When it comes to supporting mobile executives and field force workers, the ability to save aircard fees and to eliminate the need to purchase, deploy and secure additional laptop PCs can save hundreds of thousands of dollars-even millions of dollars-per year."
