Perth-headquartered St John of God Health Care has rolled out a mobile app to give its specialist doctors access to real-time patient information, with 500 clinicians taking it up so far.
The Doctor Connect app, developed by Telstra Health in association with specialists, connects to hospital patient administration systems and provides access to patient admission and contact details, allergy and alerts, and pathology and radiology results.
It also has a near real-time feed of current theatre bookings listed in various sessions, including a daily view of theatre bookings that lets doctors see their patient details, procedure and anaesthetist. Anaesthetists can also use this view to directly access patient records that they are assigned to.
