Today’s hospitals, clinics, and care networks are expected to deliver faster intake, error-free medication administration, always-on connectivity for thousands of devices, and secure access to patient data at the point of care. When those systems don’t work together, workflows stall, staff members burn out, and patient safety is put at risk.
Healthcare providers are investing in connected care ecosystems—not isolated point products. ScanSource helps partners design solutions that reduce friction at the bedside, integrate with the EHR and infrastructure already in place, and open new recurring-revenue opportunities across the continuum of care.
The connected hospital is a growing opportunity
What we help partners support across the continuum of care:
- $110.61B projected global AI-in-healthcare market by 2030, up from $21.66B in 2025—a 38.6% CAGR driven by demand for intelligent clinical and operational tools (MarketsandMarkets, 2025)
- $56.94B projected remote patient monitoring market by 2030, up from $27.72B in 2024 at a 12.7% CAGR, as care moves beyond the four walls of the facility (MarketsandMarkets, 2025)
- 86.67B projected patient engagement solutions market by 2030, up from $33.45B in 2025 at a ~21% CAGR, as providers invest in connected, patient-centric care (Grand View Research, 2025)
Partners who lead with a single device get squeezed on price. Partners who lead with a connected-care strategy own the relationship.
See how connected care works inside the facility
CONNECTED CARE IN ACTION — PATIENT INTAKE
From wait to workflow.
A patient arrives, is identified with a scanned wristband, and is checked in against the EHR in seconds. Staff pull up the right record instantly and route the patient without paperwork or duplication. Shorter waits. Fewer errors. A safer start to every visit.
Behind that outcome: barcode scanning, mobile computers, secure wireless networking, and patient-identification systems working together.
CONNECTED CARE IN ACTION — BEDSIDE CARE
Right patient, right medication, right time.
A clinician scans the patient wristband and the medication barcode before administration, confirming the five rights automatically and logging it to the record. Medication errors drop. Documentation happens in real time.
Behind that outcome: barcode scanning, mobile computers, secure wireless networking, and patient-identification systems working together.
CONNECTED CARE IN ACTION — CLINICAL OPERATIONS
Real-time decisions, not guesswork
Charge nurses and facility teams track the location of infusion pumps, wheelchairs, and staff from a centralized dashboard, and respond to alerts as they happen. Equipment is found in minutes. Decisions happen in real time—not after the shift.
Behind that outcome: RFID and RTLS asset tracking, video surveillance, networking, and analytics platforms integrated from the start.
What we support across healthcare environments
Every deployment is different. A busy emergency department doesn’t operate like an ambulatory clinic, a long-term care facility, or a remote monitoring program. We help partners understand those differences before they’re in front of the customer.
- High-performance wireless networking and connectivity — the foundation every clinical and administrative system runs on
- Video surveillance, access control, and physical security — protecting patients, staff, medications, and restricted areas
- RFID and real-time location systems (RTLS) — instant visibility into equipment, inventory, and staff across the facility
- Telehealth, video collaboration, and patient engagement — extending care beyond the facility and improving the patient experience
- Remote patient monitoring and wearable health devices — proactive, data-driven care that reduces readmissions and supports value-based models
What’s next in healthcare technology
AI, remote monitoring, and connected devices are reshaping what partners need to scope today—and what they’ll need to lead tomorrow.
AI-driven clinical workflows
that surface risk and reduce administrative burden
Remote patient monitoring at scale
that shifts care into the home
Wearable health devices
that track vitals and feed real-time data to care teams
Ambient and voice-enabled documentation
that gives clinicians time back
Connected medical devices and IoMT
unified on secure, segmented networks
We’re already helping partners scope for what’s coming—so they’re positioned to lead it, not catch up to it.

Featured Products
-
What technology is required to build a connected hospital or clinic?
A connected healthcare facility requires integrated networking, security, clinical mobility, barcode scanning, patient engagement, and analytics platforms that work together in real time to support patient safety, clinical workflows, and facility operations.
-
How do partners expand into healthcare technology solutions?
By leading with outcomes—patient safety, clinician efficiency, and better care—rather than individual devices. ScanSource provides solution-design support and supplier access to help partners build complete, EHR-ready healthcare solutions.
-
Can existing healthcare infrastructure be upgraded instead of replaced?
Yes. Most healthcare projects extend what’s already in place. The focus is on integration—connecting networking, security, mobility, and clinical applications into a unified, secure platform.
-
How does ScanSource support partners through a large healthcare deployment?
From pre-sales design through post-install lifecycle support. Our Integrated Solutions Group helps partners scope, stage, and configure complex, multi-vendor clinical environments—so they arrive on-site ready to deliver.
