There's a New Platform in Town
Hospitals can now pick the device most suited to the point of care worker. The iPad and the iPhone provide an outstanding family of mobile computing platforms for healthcare. Nurses have embraced the iPhone due to its flexibility, pocket-sized form factor and the breadth of healthcare applications available on the App Store. Now, applications that require a larger screen and a full keyboard will have a home and because the iPad is compa
tible with the iPhone, users will be able to leverage the vast library of iPhone applications and their investment in infrastructure.
While the iPad is not necessarily best suited for nurses, the increased screen size will be beneficial for physicians and other clinicians who want to connect with the EMR, view medical images, make diagnosis and educate the patient. With Voalté One available on the iPad, caregivers will not have juggle multiple devices and no more worrying about getting the information they need to help patients in critical situations.
Voalté, along with other innovative software companies, has led the way into deploying highly mobile solutions to point-of-care workers in healthcare. The iPad provides an entirely new opportunity for extending the caregiver and the patient experience.
Voalté will offer the iPad Development Partner program to its existing client hospitals and a few additional hospitals interested in exploring the use of the iPad in healthcare. The Voalté One Application is expected to be available for the iPad by Apple’s shipment date in late March.
