It is perhaps one of the biggest ironies of American business. Healthcare, the industry whose providers are the most burdened with paper-based processes, is the last to embrace electronic data capture. One solution to the paper shuffle is healthcare Point-of-Care (PoC) systems, a diverse set of applications and input devices that capture data — radiology pictures, vital signs, medications administered — while the clinician is in front of the patient.

Read this paper to see why the immediacy of data capture, the elimination of handwritten notes and the ability of collaborating clinicians to view data remotely and instantaneously can greatly improve outcomes and safety, and how PoC can help hospitals and clinicians improve efficiency, which should translate into higher profits.
