Clinical environments are a perfect storm for deadly infections, with high concentrations of pathogens proliferating around people who are at the greatest risk, especially children, the elderly or any patient who is immunocompromised.

Traditional consumer electronics devices used in clinical settings are magnets for these pathogens because they’re used by many different people in close proximity to patients, and they have numerous cracks, vents and cables where dust and bodily fluids can collect and pathogens can potentially take root.

To help protect patients and hospital staff, HP recently launched the second generation of its Healthcare Edition portfolio, including all-in-one PCs, along with a keyboard, mouse, a notebook and clinical-view displays, all designed to prevent the spread of healthcare-associated infections, while also meeting the unique needs of the healthcare environment.
