Mobile technology is key to NHS service transformation | #eHealthPromotion, #SaluteSocial | Scoop.it

How can today's mobile technology make a difference? Put simply, by giving staff the right information and tools to do their job, in any place, at any time.

 

Of course, many staff are already ‘mobile workers’, moving between wards and outpatient clinics on different sites or treating patients at home or in GP surgeries. Yet current approaches to mobile working are often highly inefficient. What health boards need to do is to ‘mobilise’ each healthcare professional's entire job, using the latest generation of mobile solutions. These overcome issues of limited and clumsy web-based access to existing back-office systems by providing native smartphone and tablet apps that draw together the information and tools staff need to support them as they work.
