Healthcare Case Study: Wireless Pilot Shows Mobile Technology Impact on Patient Care

Healthcare is a data-driven endeavor. Case in point: A survey conducted at Dallas, Texas-based CHRISTUS Health showed its hospitals collect 86,000 pieces of clinical data each day. “It’s valuable information, but it has a very short shelf-life,” says CHRISTUS Health’s CIO and Senior Vice President George Conklin. “You’ve got to find ways to automate its collection, get it into the system quickly, compare it to the body of knowledge, and present it in ways that help clinicians deal with the glut of information.”

Leveraging its wireless network infrastructure, CHRISTUS Health recently piloted an innovative mobile point-of-care (MPOC) solution that uses Intel® technologies and Sensitron careTrends* to begin doing just that.

Challenge

  • Improve productivity, efficiency, and patient care. Nursing staff spent hours manually acquiring and recording vital sign information. The process was labor-intensive and error-prone, and nearly 60 percent of physicians said they experienced delays in caring for their patients when the latest vital signs were not available on the patient’s chart.
