Adobe Systems to Discuss Managing the Transformation of Healthcare at 2008 Health Technologies Conference and Expo

Adobe Systems to Discuss Managing the Transformation of Healthcare at 2008 Health Technologies Conference and Expo
Healthcare is more complex now than at any other time in history. Individuals benefit from a dynamic “community of care,” including primary care physicians, specialists, case managers, surgeons, social workers, nurses, and others. However, this extended community has increased the likelihood that individuals complete redundant paperbased documents, with specific care-related information is stored in separate files, and that privacy may be compromised.
Concurrently, healthcare providers are striving to improve patient care, reduce costs, protect patient privacy, and enforce compliance by streamlining and automating processes. Experts agree technology is the solution. However, though healthcare providers have invested heavily in software applications from a variety of vendors over the last few decades, they are still struggling to make them work more efficiently—when and where they are needed the most.
Join Adobe at the 2008 Government and Health Technologies Conference and Expo on April 15 -16, 2008 at the Design Exchange in Toronto Ontario.
Learn how Adobe Systems is helping healthcare provides develop solutions that can increase the interactivity of multiple caregivers and processes with patient information to save time and money. The discussion will also touch on how providers can reduce admission, readmission cost, by replacing inefficient, manual, paper-based processes with automated efficient processes that increase collaboration, streamline electronic forms, and support electronic medical records (EMRs) and personal healthcare records (PHRs).

Healthcare and Hospital Grade PDA?s
May 8th
The SoMo® 650Rx is a hospital-grade handheld computer made with antimicrobial materials that provide an extra layer of protection against the multiplication and spread of potentially harmful bacteria and microbes.
The President has made it very clear that he intends to update the aging healthcare system, specifically transitioning the antiquated medical chart recording system over to electronic medical records (EMR), and his stimulus package addresses that fact by introducing a multimillion dollar incentive for hospitals and clinics to make the change.
Electronic Medical Records have been shown to significantly improve hospital performance and reduce medical errors. For the newer generation of healthcare providers, this is a dream come true. Physicians and support staff (Physician Assistant’s, Nurse’s) can do all patient documentation on a touch screen tablet or PDA.
The COO of NY Presbyterian Hospital, Dr. Steven Corwin was quoted as saying, “when we put electronic ordering in place, all our physicians having to do electronic ordering, our medication errors went down by 80%.”
The reduction in medication errors is simply astounding. Aside from the lucrative financial benefits that hospitals and clinics stand to receive, the Hospital staff; Physicians, Physician Assistant’s, and Nurse’s are tooled for success as well. It has been cited that the working atmosphere has improved while productivity has increased and errors have decreased.
The SoMo 650Rx is by far the most extraordinary Hospital Grade PDA on the market today. The SoMo 650Rx is easy to customize with a wide range of bar code scanners, RFID readers, and communications peripherals based on the CF, SD or Bluetooth interface. Software drivers and utilities are pre-loaded on the SoMo 650Rx, so you can deploy out of the box with your favorite Socket peripheral. The device’s rich Bluetooth implementation enables you to connect to Socket hand-held and hands-free scanning solutions along with hundreds of readily available 3rd party Bluetooth peripherals.
This PDA benefits you is many ways, for example:
· Capture patient vitals, view lab reports and write up reports at the point of care
· Identify high-risk patients who need the most care, more quickly
· Reduce costly paper-based errors that can result in liability
· Spend more time with patients and more time providing high-quality patient care
This PDA Features
· Windows Mobile® 6 operating system
· Durable, lightweight, ergonomic handheld design
· Fast roaming Wi-Fi® 802.11b/g switches seamlessly between access points
· Bluetooth® 2.0 + EDR Class 2 wireless connectivity
· Optionally configurable to read bar code and RFID data
· Deployment ready system, designed to run out of the box
The SoMo 650Rx has quickly become the device of choice among hospital and clinic staff, including the St. Clair Hospital Pittsburgh and many hospitals around the globe.
The Socket Communication SoMo 650Rx is sold in a few select locations, including Dell, Mobile Phone Bazaar, and PC Connection. The lowest price of which was found at Mobile Phone Bazaar, who also had the product in stock and shipped immediately. Dell and PC Connection were both out of stock, had higher overall prices and prices didn’t include sales tax.

WiFi Wellness: Healthcare Techies Build Patient Apps to Cut Costs
May 2nd
Baby Boomers are trashing their simple, Jitterbug-ish handsets and staying in touch with Blackberrys and iPhones more than ever before; a trend that’s not lost on the cost-conscious eyes of leaders within the healthcare industry.
This new power generation of slowly aging but connected consumers is the target of a slew of new handheld applications now in development that do everything from provide one-touch access to health and wellness information to registering blood sugar levels, scheduling reminders for medication, tracking patient heart rates and on-demand video chat via handheld with doctors and nurses. As these phones continue to get even more powerful than they already are, WiFi healthcare will continue to rise.
Icyou, a new start-up company that primarily manages and provides content for several Internet video libraries, recently announced the availability of its iPhone application. The app allows users to navigate the company site for health information and download videos for viewing away from home. Everything from emergency CPR lessons to motivational fitness videos are now a touch screen away.
Among the more unique health-related applications for smart phones is My Life Record, a $50 application that allows you to manage and access medical records including doctor information and images such as X-rays, ultrasounds and electrocardiograms. The company says in spite of its relatively high cost (when compared to other apps that typically cost about a dollar), the software has grown in popularity since its introduction to the iPhone platform a year ago.
Once reserved for the clinical environment, professional-grade hearing tests, food trackers, medication alarms and other apps are making their way into the smart phone mainstream. Insurance companies and hospitals hope they lead to significant cost-cuts to their bottom lines while emphasizing wellness as part of their policy holders’ daily routines.
Healthcare providers and doctors were among the first consumers to take desktop medical applications into their palms, since mobility and 24/7 schedules made it virtually impossible to track patient care without the aid of software. The most common physician and health care provider apps now include:
Drug databases Medical calculators Reference programs Decision support for both physicians and nurses Tracking patient stats (weight, blood pressure, etc.) Patient history accessing, managing, and documenting Communication managers Payer tools (coding, eligibility determination, etc.)
Chronic disease support companies, whose business model is built around call centers staffed with registered nurses, are also re-thinking how they provide service. Some industry analysts say online chat via smart phones will become the norm since their typical patient base is living longer and not necessarily confined to their homes.
To most people, health insurance is a plastic card with numbers that lets you into the doctor?s office and a little booklet of paper that lives in your filing cabinet, closet or some dusty corner of your home. To Michael, affordable health insurance and the historical reforms that go along with the inequality of healthcare in America are topics of healthy discussion, worthy of further study and catalysts for education and action. Michael lives in Miami.
