2 Leverage Mobile for Patient Education

Incorporate mobile devices such as iPads to deliver educational videos to waiting patients Enable patient-specic and disease-specic education for self-care Enable social health informatics for patient participation and peer interaction. Facilitate data mining of mobile devices to reveal societal and lifestyle patterns for research and root cause analysis of diseases
Transform waiting periods to educational opportunities

Doctor
Nationwide, patients spend an average of 21 minutes as they wait to see their docs, according to a recent analysis of data from over 700,000 physicians' ofces.
Leverage EHR Integration for Accuracy and Transparency
Enable doctors access to complete EHR history allergies, hospitalizations, congenital issues, treatments administered in the past, etc. Enable physician collaboration with peers via mobile dashboard Add newly collected facts (symptoms) to EHR for updated view Minimize manual errors and promote patient participation Improve patient understanding and simplify next steps with clear communication on secured email lab tests, lab location, referred doctor, etc.
Schedules Consult Reports Consult History
According to the Mobile Usage in the Medical Space survey conducted by AmericanEHR, physicians who have adopted an EHR perform 11.2 activities per week on their smartphone.

According to the AHA, in 2011 approximately 5,754 registered hospitals existed in the U.S., housing 942,000 hospital beds along with 36,915,331 admissions. By 2020, a shortage of 91,500 physicians is expected in the U.S.
Here is why optimizing hospital administration is important!
Ensure Timely Patient Communication & Understanding
Push billing and operative procedure cost details to patients via mobile dashboards at front desk Ensure patient understanding by documenting expected challenges, treatment risks, etc. in secured emails and using medical mobile solutions for demonstrations Enable real time updation of EHR by doctors as they meet patients on rounds Implement mobile barcode methodology to ensure accurate medication dosages to patients in wards Train and implement staff on risk assessment tools to verify patient's state and chances of readmission
An estimated 80% of serious medical errors involve miscommunication between caregivers when patients are transferred or handed off.
