Smartphones in Clinical Settings at Froedtert and The Medical College of Wisconsin

We have heard from a number of clients that physicians and staff want to use smartphones to do their jobs. In addition to calls, e-mail access and medical apps, a big driver of this preference is the ability for providers to get all the information they need on a single device because carrying multiple gadgets can be cumbersome and time-consuming to manage.

While developing a mobility strategy recently, one of our customers wanted a solution that would allow their staff to use smartphones for all communications — including critical test results and code calls — and reduce the extra gadgetry.

On August 15, Daniel DeBehnke, MD, Chief Clinical Integration Officer, and Ann Tesmer, Director of Access Services, both at Froedtert and The Medical College of Wisconsin, discussed how Amcom Mobile Connect is helping them improve patient care, increase physician satisfaction and boost caregiver efficiency. They shared some of the challenges they faced and the lessons they learned during their project of introducing Amcom’s smartphone app for traceable, encrypted critical communications.
