'BlackBerry-based network streamlines home-health coordination'+
'
'+
'Assigning home health workers to patients in Canada used to take two hours, but an application for the BlackBerry has trimmed the process to 15 minutes. Instead of nurses playing phone tag with home-health agencies and then trying to find ways to communicate patient histories by phone or fax, a computer can broadcast requests to home-care nurses and therapists.

'iPhone app tracks swine flu outbreaks'+
'
'+
'There are so many new healthcare-related iPhone apps sprouting up each week that we can't possibly write about all of them, but one really jumped out at us--possibly because of who's behind it, but more likely because the national media picked up on it. An informaticist at Children's Hospital Boston, with help from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab, developed an app called Outbreaks Near Me to track outbreaks of the H1N1 flu virus.

'Video: OSU discusses the iPhone as medical tool.'+
'
'+
'Friday - September 4th, 2009 - 12:17pm EST by Brian Dolan
Two years ago, Ohio State University College of Medicine's Vice Dean of Education, Catherine Lucey and a fourth year medical student going into plastic surgery, Justin Harper, spearheaded the school's use of iPod Touches and iPhones as medical and learning tools on campus. In the video below, (UPDATE: which was created by CurrentMedicine.tv), Lucey and Harper discuss how the program has evolved at the school and the ways in which students apply the devices in clinical settings. As you might expect the devices are used mostly as access points for medical reference apps and sites.
Continue on for the 8 minute video that includes demos of some of the apps the students use. More...

'Epocrates\' survey: Nurses still favor Palm'+
'
'+
'Tuesday - September 8th, 2009 - 07:23pm EST by Brian Dolan.
Mobile software developer Epocrates released survey results that polled nurses who use their Epocrates smartphone application. This most recent survey follows a similar format to the one the company conducted recently with medical students - revisit the results from that poll here. Here are the metrics that resulted from the most recent Epocrates survey:
- More than half of the nurses express significant concern that a national nursing shortage will negatively effect patient safety and care.
- About 46 percent said that the shortage already forces nurses to spend less time with their patients.
- About 42 percent said the shortage has led to increasing responsibilities for them.
- About 37 percent said the shortage has increased their patient load.
- About 50 percent said they save more than 30 minutes each day thanks to Epocrates.
The nurses surveyed favor Palm PDAs and smartphones - followed by iPhone or iPod touch - and then BlackBerry devices.
