Trends in Point-of-Care Technologies considers how care provider organizations are deploying and utilizing mobile devices to support diagnoses, impact decision-making, and influence treatments for their patients. These devices are shrinking the circle of care, bridging error-prone time lapses and accessing essential data by implementing user friendly technologies to improve quality and patient safety.


Trends in Point-of-Care Technologies surveys POC devices divided into two major groups. One is comprised of systems used for data entry and access devices such as laptops, workstations on wheels and handhelds. The other is made up of diagnostic, monitoring and therapeutic devices. This in-depth research report examines the challenges care providers face when adopting and implementing these technologies, including:
 
  • Diagnostic devices, including In vitro diagnostics
  • Patient monitoring devices
  • Therapeutic and treatment devices
  • Consumer channel home health monitoring devices
  • Computer-based systems used for data entry and access devices
  • Handheld communication devices and smart phones
  • Identification and tracking tools
  • And more!
Using research gathered from hundreds of healthcare information technology industry professionals, Trends in Point-of-Care Technologies also offers insight into the accessibility and types of personal information currently available at the point-of-care, device use limitations, and other issues related to device distribution and management. Complementing this research is unique insight into how healthcare organizations are—and aren’t—leveraging social media to achieve care delivery goals.
