Creating a Seamless Healthcare Experience: Everything Connected at the Point of Care

June 17, 2025

At Midmark, we harmonize clinical spaces, workflow and technology to design better care experiences. Our experience in healthcare, working with some of the largest and leading healthcare organizations, has shown that exam rooms can do more when every element within the point of care is designed to work in harmony.

By creating a fully connected point of care ecosystem where processes, equipment and care teams are integrated, we help healthcare organizations ensure a seamless healthcare experience. An experience where patients and caregivers feel supported, informed and empowered at every step of the healthcare journey, leading to collaborative interactions, deeper trust and better outcomes.

The Midmark Point of Care Ecosystem transforms care spaces by harmonizing technology, workflow and equipment to create clinical environments designed to enhance efficiency, compliance and patient experiences. This approach is more than just connectivity—it’s a rethinking of how care environments support the people in them.

From medical-grade cabinetry and exam chairs that connect to automated diagnostic devices to mobile workstations and automated diagnostic devices connected directly to the electronic medical records (EMR), every element of the room plays a role. It’s not just about adding devices—it’s about creating unity between them to elevate the entire experience for patients and care teams alike. It’s about providing a platform where healthcare organizations can leverage new technologies, incorporate best practices and employ greater standardization within ambulatory care environments.

Diagnostic Connectivity + Cabinetry

Diagnostic connectivity and cabinetry are two components of a connected ecosystem worth highlighting.

Diagnostic Connectivity

As part of a fully connected ecosystem, diagnostic connectivity, such as that provided by Midmark® IQvitals Zone, can help you facilitate and ensure a level of standardization to minimize human variables and maximize consistency and data accuracy.

Connected diagnostic devices used in conjunction with an exam chair like the Midmark 626 Barrier-Free® Examination Chair, allows proper positioning of the patient to achieve more accurate readings. Then, patient data can be directly imported into the EMR to help facilitate adherence to your clinical guidelines for proper techniques. Caregivers also can measure blood pressure more consistently using a SPRINT-based patient positioning checklist within the diagnostics device.

IQvitals Zone transforms the traditional vital signs acquisition process by establishing a direct wireless connection between the vital signs monitor and the caregiver’s tablet or laptop. It eliminates the need to manually connect and disconnect by auto-connecting when the caregiver places their laptop on the multi-use work surface or near the diagnostic device—it automatically disconnects when the tablet or laptop is moved away from the vital signs monitor.

Cabinetry

Cabinetry that withstands clinical environments, supports standardized workflows, incorporates ergonomic principles and offers flexibility to evolve with the changing needs of the point of care, is an important part of a connected ecosystem.

Cabinetry featuring a modular design, such as Synthesis® Wall-Hung Cabinetry, can adapt quickly and easily as your patients, staff and the needs of your facility change. Doors and drawers can be reconfigured, and base or overhead storage cabinets that coordinate with the original design can be added as needed. Simple mounting-cleat installation allows the cabinetry to be removed quickly and re-installed in another area of the facility or moved to an entirely new location.

Synthesis Wall-Hung Cabinetry incorporates ergonomic principles and is designed for average height healthcare workers who interact with cabinetry in the clinical environment, creating a better caregiver experience at the point of care. The line of cabinetry features base and tall cabinets that better position the most-used areas of storage for easier reach by members of the care team.

Synthesis Wall-Hung Cabinetry is also created specifically for the medical environment and the rigors of daily use in an ambulatory care environment. It features an easy-to-clean, seamless design using antimicrobial handles and surfaces that can help protect from infections. The cabinetry also uses steel-on-steel construction with powder-coated paint and a thermofoil wrap to limit seams so it can be more thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. This base structure also can help the cabinetry better withstand breakdown from repeated use of medical-grade cleaners.
