Selling the bitter EMR pill

Sunday, March 30, 2008

Selling the bitter EMR pill (HIMSS meeting) ...IT and IS, CIOs and CEOs...Quit Chopping Trees to find the answer...

This is one of my absolute pet peeves to discuss...there are tons of articles about getting physicians to buy in to new technology and YES we all agree you need to have the physicians buy in...and in today's world Tablet PCs are a very involved part of the process.  Ok, a few notes from my experience and my feelings on the subject...

DINAMAP to Marry Motion C5 Mobile Tablet

At the recently concluded Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) 2008 meeting, GE Healthcare announced a collaboration with Intel and Motion Computing® to develop a mobile computing technology to eliminate the manual collection of patient vital signs and other data (presumably, stool guaiac results and such). In simpler terms, GE will try to integrate its Centricity Enterprise in-patient electronic medical record (EMR) software and GE Healthcare's DINAMAP® patient monitoring devices with Motion C5 mobile clinical assistant, a device we have covered many times in the past. The technology is already being tested at the UCSF medical center. Here is a tip for younger folks: the DINAMAP is what any 50+ nurse will call an automatic blood pressure machine.

New Version of ritePen more Medical Friendly!

ritePen® is an advanced handwriting recognition software for Microsoft Windows-based pen-enabled computers. Users of ritePen can write anywhere on their screen or other pen input surface and have their handwriting instantly converted to text for use in any EMR application with dialog boxes! In other words, if you can type in the EMR, you can rP in the same area! The new version ritePen 2.7 enhances these features. Requires no training!

When navigating an Electronic Medical Record, rP does not have an obtrusive overlying input panel that blocks the view of your critical data. No TIP in your face, only the facts. The doctor simply takes his stylus/pen and clicks in the dialog box that he wants to enter data, then he can write anywhere on the screen and the rP input will target the dialog box of focus and input the data!

Medical users can import their own medical vocabularies or, they can use rP on their Tablet PC with special medical vocabularies as included with Motion Medical Pak or Spellex Tablet PC Suite.

Medical users can use Citrix or RDP with rP on their Tabletpcs to enter their clinical data.

Users that fear trying something different: rP can be used in conjunction with the native TabletPC Input Panel (TIP) as well. You can actually use both at the same time. In my view, this makes rP a, "Must Try," and Inevitable Buy, for the healthcare worker.
(ritePen on the Tablet PC combines ritePen's own recognition technology with the embedded "TIP" handwriting recognition engine, via a proprietary "fusion" technology that merges the results of two handwriting recognition engines).

The University of Maryland Medical System and many other hospitals and medical care centers are using ritePen with their new Tablet PC installations.

Recognizes English, French, German, Russian and Spanish handwriting!
