Collaborative Mobility: Is the Second Wave of Clinical Mobility the Key to More Effective Clinical Care?
Speakers:
Jan Duffy, EMEA Research Director, IDC Government Insights and IDC Health Insights
Rick Cnossen, Director of Personal Health Enabling, Intel Corporation Digital Health Group
Join Intel & IDC for an interactive discussion with key customers and healthcare leaders focused on a new IDC whitepaper “The Second Wave of Clinical Mobility: Strategic Solution Investments for Mobile Point of Care in Western Europe”.
In today’s hectic environment, clinicians demand instant-on, always-connected mobile point of care (MPOC) solutions and typically use as many as ten different devices on any given day. In the world of the clinician, access to timely, accurate information and communications can be a matter of life or death. But, the use of mobile devices to access information is just the tip of the performance iceberg, the real benefit lies in communication and collaboration in real-time, whenever and wherever the clinician is working. The ability to consult expeditiously with other team members – specialists, pharmacists, nursing staff – allows the clinician to resolve questions without delay, ensuring best patient care.

The Journey from Papyrus to PC – 1812-2012 in One Leap
Speaker: Dr Rajan Paw, MB ChB, FRCS(A+E). Ed, FCEM, Consultant Emergency Physician, Medical Service Head Emergency Medicine, Dudley Group Hospitals, UK
