Catalis, the creator of the first graphical health record (GHR), says this will enhance the traditional clinic experience for both doctors and their patients.
The Catalis Accelerator GHR is an application that operates on a chart-like wireless 802.11b/g tablet PC, allowing physicians to practice medicine as they were originally trained – walking in and out of patient exam rooms and talking face-to-face with patients.
The Accelerator GHR performs physician functions such as recording a patient’s physical exam and history, plus exchanging patient information with pharmacies and laboratories.
With the addition of Wayport’s carrier grade Wi-Fi wireless network service, technology, and ongoing maintenance and application support, Catalis says the system now provides a highly secure, reliable and cutting-edge electronic health record solution for the medical industry.
Our experience shows that physicians using the Accelerator GHR can expect to see an increase in clinic productivity by at least 15% within the first six months without any of the hassles associated with trying to maintain their own wireless networks, said Dr Randolph Lipscher, president and CEO of Catalis.
As an added benefit, clinics operating the Accelerator GHR can offer Wayport’s Wi-Fi internet access to the public. In the waiting room or in other parts of the office, patients and visitors can access email, surf the web or stay in touch with the office or family, all backed by enhanced security and VPN support.
The introduction of Wayport’s capabilities to enable unique applications like the Accelerator GHR in the healthcare vertical market can enable medical offices to streamline operations, implement new capabilities that are fundamental to their business, and offer valuable services to help them attract and retain loyal customers, said Dave Vucina, CEO of Wayport.
