Mobile ubiquity – where everything and everyone can and more importantly should be connected is currently transforming how many industries, including Healthcare, conduct business. While the “always on” possibility poses organisations many challenges, it also presents many exciting opportunities.  As healthcare organisations and providers become increasingly digital in both their business processes and day to day medical recording, the move has opened the door for unprecedented improvements around efficient communication.

Some examples of the collaboration and operational benefits include:

• X-Ray and Test Results distributed to the relevant medical staff the instant they become available.
• Interactive patient records (one-click call, history and research capabilities).
• Proximity based treatment using Location Based Services, presence and appropriate skillsets allocation.
• Automatic and speedy patient discharging by remote authorisation from the correct and relevant medical staff.
• “Software to Person” or “Software to Device” communications can be sent in the form of voice, IM, email, SMS/Page, data files or multimedia files.
