Zebra Technologies Introduces “Orchestrated Care” Approach to Enhance Patient Care at HIMSS26

Company to unveil its vision for connected, visible and intelligent delivery of care

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), a global leader in digitizing and automating workflows to deliver intelligent operations, today introduced Orchestrated Care, its visionary framework designed to help healthcare organizations provide intelligent visibility, empower teams and optimize operations. This framework and supporting solutions will be showcased in Booth #2435 at the HIMSS26 Global Health Conference & Exhibition, which will be held March 9-12, 2026, at the Venetian Convention & Expo Center in Las Vegas.

“Today's healthcare professionals face immense pressure from disconnected systems and administrative burdens that take time away from patient care,” said Kassaundra McKnight-Young, Chief Nursing Informatics Officer, Zebra Technologies. “Zebra’s Orchestrated Care framework and our healthcare solutions help clinicians achieve error-proof patient identification and improve efficiency, empowering clinicians to focus on what matters most: patient care.”

The Orchestrated Care framework focuses on three key areas to transform healthcare operations:

• Intelligent Visibility: To enhance patient safety and experience, every patient touchpoint is connected digitally. This is achieved through solutions that automate the information flow to provide accurate visibility into data such as patient identity, specimen, medication and test results to reduce errors and mitigate risks.
• Empowered Teams: To reduce clinician burden and improve staff well-being, the framework unifies communication and mobilizes essential data onto a single mobile device. This keeps care teams better connected and supported with secure messaging, EHR access, and streamlined workflow management to enable better decision-making and stronger team collaboration.
• Optimized Operations: To drive efficiency and reduce costs, resource management is automated by digitizing inventory and asset tracking. This helps hospitals reduce search times for equipment, prevent stockouts, and lower waste while simplifying technology management.

This approach is powered by Zebra's extensive portfolio of healthcare technology, including mobile computers, scanners, printers, touchscreen displays, RFID and real-time location solutions and software, supported by a robust ecosystem of implementation and technology partners.

Many of these solutions will be on display in Zebra’s booth at HIMSS26, including the new DS82-HC Series scanner. Its smooth, sealed design helps eliminate microbial build up and the spread of bacteria with disinfectant-ready plastics, a sealed inductive trigger, anti-microbial labels and contactless charging. With a scanner that accurately captures virtually any 1D or 2D barcode and a multi-function button enabling clinicians to quickly switch between applications, the device streamlines workflows. And with four days of battery life and swappable power sources, clinicians can expect less interruptions during patient rounds.

Visitors to HIMSS will also learn how Texas Children's Hospital co-created an RFID-powered solution with Zebra and one of its premier solution and ISV partners, Tecsys to properly track and reduce the waste of life-saving medications.
