Today I attended (e-tended?) an Elluminate sponsored presentation about mobile devices and healthcare--very informative. My reason for doing so was learn more about how such practices inform how these practices realted to nursing and first-responder education. The presenters provided examples of devices that relate to patient care, billing, and continuing ed for healthcare professionals. Key issues? Privacy, standardization of health care records and systems.
But I will stop for a minute--one example the military is using is an ICEphone--I carry it on me, it provides critical health info if something happens to me. It also contains medical contacts and is a means of communciation for a health-care professional at treating me at the scene.
Here's a recording to the session and future opportunities on various topics: https://sas.elluminate.com/site/external/event/description?instance_id=15560
The session lasted about an hour--at lunch at my desk while I joined many others in this opportunity.
