Doctors Use iPhone To Display Charts and Med. Info.

Doylestown Hospital has a very mobile workforce and for this reason, the Doylestown IT team searched for communication tools to enable fluid, effective and efficient interaction. Their IT leaders were looking for "a multi-function, indispensable device that provides real-time information to community physicians" (Source: Apple Press Room).  It was also expressed that doctors would need "on-the-fly access to patient and clinical data stored in the hospital’s databases" and that this device would need to be simultaneously a cell phone and a pager / beeper. The iPhone became the top choice as the hospital's communication tool due in a large part to it ease of use and ability to meet all requirements, including the assurance of great security.
