Mobilizing Healthcare — Delivering Faster Patient Care and Greater Physician Satisfaction

Electronic medical records (EMR) are now delivering on promises of improved patient outcomes, population health management and personalized medicine. But for most hospitals and health systems, those advances have come with a cost—a measurable decrease in care provider satisfaction.

A seminal RAND study put it bluntly: “The current state of EMR technology appears to significantly worsen professional satisfaction for many physicians—sometimes in ways that raise concerns about effects on patient care.”1 In fact, recent research including the RAND report show that health IT too often frustrates care providers, whether due to password management, poor UI design and usability, time-consuming data entry, lack of remote access or inflexible workflows.

Leading hospitals and clinics are now mobilizing healthcare to improve technology adoption and utilization. Enabling remote access via mobile devices helps to achieve promised ROI, enhance quality of care, ensure that electronic records are complete and drive physician satisfaction.
