Shenzhen, 2 February 2010 - Mobile solutions can increase the efficiency of organisations such as Hong Kong Union Hospital that is using a mobile point of care solution from Motorola.
The deployment of 100 units of Motorola MC55 equipped with Mobile Clinical Solutions was carried out by a longstanding partner of Motorola, Ewell Hong Kong, a provider of e-Healthcare products and solution services. This implementation has enabled both the doctors and nurses to wirelessly access patient medical records and clinical information.
Real-time information
Accuracy of administered care for patients is critical in hospitals where the doctors and nurses are constantly on the move and need to access real-time critical patient information as well as scan bar code on medication.
Motorola’s solution addresses this need and also provides a unified communication platform for doctors and nurses to triage information through voice and text messaging with other hospital staff.
With this ability, the doctors at the Union Hospital can succeed in the real-time intervention of critical situations and respond to emergencies in a quick and efficient manner.
“The ability to integrate facilities of a cell phone, VoIP phone, pager, bar code scanner, a camera and also offer push-to-talk functionality in a single pocketable device, automatically translates into significant savings,” said Patrick Chan, regional sales director, Motorola enterprise mobility, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and South China.
The power to access
Dr. Anthony Lee, chief hospital manager and medical director, Union Hospital, said it is important to access clinical and other critical patient-related information in real time as it helps its doctors, nurses and other staff to streamline day-to-day tasks.
Motorola’s solution has significantly reduced their workload and allowed them to spend more time at the patient's bedside. Leveraging the data capture and wireless access capability, the hospital has been able to error-proof its processes and ultimately improved patient safety, productivity and the quality of care it provides.
Dr. Lee said the hospital staff is using the mobile voice and text messaging, and connectivity over a virtual private network to respond to any emergency situation. They can also use it to initiate medical intervention based on the most current information about the patient's condition.
