Intelligence Goes Mobile

I want to discuss how easy it has become to take desktop applications to the floor of HIMSS 2012.

Health BI is a comprehensive healthcare analytics solution with over 600 key performance indicators, ONC certification for Meaningful Use and a real-time intelligence engine that reevaluates patient compliance each time the data is refreshed. This was developed as a desktop application. With a large monitor and a powerful computer, this solution sings. My surprise is running this on a tablet.

A colleague dropped off a Windows 8 developer tablet. We hooked this to our Wi-Fi and we were off to the races. After spending about 15 minutes learning the nuances of Windows 8, I am able to use 100% of the functionality of a sophisticated desktop application on a tablet that I can walk around and use.

I can see shift supervisors, triage and admissions staff using a mobile data entry device to improve patient safety, customer satisfaction and data accuracy. This kind of mobility is very intelligent.
