Wireless Solutions Untethering Healthcare

Welcome to your next issue of the Sage Software eBrief. In this issue, we'll look at the range of wireless solutions available to healthcare providers and how they can provide connectivity, flexibility and security both in your practice and at remote locations.

Welcome to the Wireless World
The word "wireless" is everywhere these days. With a wireless card, you can access email at coffee shops, airports and hotels. Wireless towns and cities are becoming more and more common with large cities like New York and San Francisco working to implement city-wide public wireless networks. The benefits of wireless connectivity are being recognized from the corner market to the corporate board room.

Still, there are as many different wireless solutions as there are businesses, and if you are considering implementing an electronic health record (EHR) solution in your practice, you should also be thinking about a wireless plan. With a wireless wide area network (WAN) in your town or a wireless local area network (LAN) in your practice or hospital, you can utilize small handheld devices to access information and complete tasks such as dictation and ePrescribing or you can use larger wireless tablets to document encounters and review patient records. You'll quickly find that an EHR combined with a wireless network offers many benefits, including:

  • Increased clinician mobility and accessibility
  • Enhanced automation of processes and workflows
  • Greater access to data at the point of care
  • Elimination of duplicate efforts
  • Facilitation of real-time communications
  • Improvements in patient charge capture
  • Increased patient safety
  • Better data security

Partners You Can Trust
Implementing a wireless plan within your practice doesn't have to be difficult. By working with a partner you can trust, like Sage Software, you can choose the right solutions to meet your current and future needs.

To help you achieve this goal, we have partnered with some of the wireless industry's leading companies to provide the best and most secure systems for physician practices like yours. These partners include:

  • Motion: Read Motion's recent case studies on the benefits of using tablets on a wireless network in healthcare.
  • Symbol: This company's solutions have been winning awards for years, most recently the Wireless Broadband Innovation Award for Innovation in Wireless Security Management. On their website you'll find information on wireless solutions, case studies and white papers.
  • Toshiba: Toshiba has been a leader in mobile computing almost as long there has been mobile computing, offering affordable solutions recognized for their quality.

As a result of these relationships, Sage Software (previously Emdeon Practice Services) won Business Solutions Magazine's Channel Innovator Award for Wireless. With competition from many companies across diverse industries, Sage Software won because it's "unique accomplishment is the development of a wireless solution that addresses the needs of healthcare providers ranging from single-physician offices to practices with more than 150 users," wrote reporter Jay McCall in his profile of the company and the innovative Intergy EHR solution.
