Online/offline
• Do staff need access to the full patient record in the field?
• Refocus on the working process through the staff diary
• Civica/TotalMobile partnership
• Introduces new advantages: Platform agnostic, reduced hardware
cost, GPS tracking/navigation,
Lessons learnt
There is no ‘one size fits all’
Solution needs to be tailored to purpose
3G Coverage is not ubiquitous – educate and empower users
Ensure long-term persistence of the supply chain
Benefits to home/work balance
Further benefits beyond EPR access
Ongoing work
Secure pull-printing functionality
2013 3G re-test
Ongoing monitoring of the 4G market place
