Healthcare and Other Professionals Using Mobile To Great Effect

As the nature of the workplace continues to evolve dramatically, enterprise mobility figures largely into this shift of a new workforce trend. This trend involves people working outside traditional office spaces, and even outside typical nine-to-five workday parameters.  By using applications via mobile devices and accessing cloud services, professionals in a range of industries can conduct  business by accessing work related data from really anywhere in the world. The advantage to this is an increase in productivity and the ability to deal with any work situation immediately—and in real time.  One area where enterprise mobility has proved particularly useful and cutting edge is in the field of healthcare.

Healthcare Monitoring

Particularly important to any healthcare provider is having the capability of being able to consistently monitor patient information, This applies to vitals, medication, and especially any changing conditions—as well as respond quickly to emergencies. Various sources report that an increasingly high percentage of health care providers are on board with enterprise mobility. They are regularly using mobile devices to access the critical patient data and information they need. Increased round-the-clock accessibility is now often expected.

Promote Collaboration

Enterprise mobility becomes increasingly attractive as it is seen to be transformational by bringing information to the point of care. Doctors or practitioners can determine treatment and patient care from anywhere and at any time. This due to the fact that they are receiving and communicating in real time. Specifically, this;

• enhances workflow
• facilitates faster decision making
• better doctor-patient communication or interaction
• streamlines the providers’ workloads
• collaboration and delivery of care as a team
• the premise is that better information equals better communication equals efficiency and overall better treatment

Security and Privacy

As companies or vendors seek to further introduce enterprise mobility into healthcare systems, security is critical. Apps do need to be managed safely and effectively include patient privacy and confidentiality.  Well-designed healthcare apps continue to effect all the benefits discussed above.  Even better is the research and technology that is enabling such apps to intuitively respond to data in appropriate contexts.  As enterprise mobility takes over as the new norm, applications will enable increasingly simplified ways to enter and retrieve critical patient data. This is  transforming patient care decisions now and into the future.
