Presented at the HIMSS12 conference. Discusses how a back-end content server like Alfresco can make mobile devices far more productive for business users. These slides were assembled from ones provided by my team who I believe cleared the rights. Thank you to Alfresco partners Zia Consulting, Reva Solutions, and Micro Strategies for their help.

Challenges in Healthcare IT: The Good

Data Problem

“What good is it to have your lab results

transferred from hospital A to hospital B

using secure SMTP and XML? They are

going to re-do the labs anyway because

they don't trust the other lab.”

David Uhlman to Fred Trotter, radar.oreilly.com Meaningful Use and Beyond—A Guide for IT Staff in Health Care

Trends in Healthcare IT: Mobile Revolution

“26% of European doctors own an iPad and

they spend 27% of their professional online

time on the device . . . iPad-owning doctors

used desktops and laptops for 55% of their

professional internet use and smartphones

for the remaining 18%. 40% of doctors

surveyed said they planned to purchase an

iPad within the next 6 months.”

“Taking the Pulse Europe” by Manhattan Research, Q4 2011. Self-selected online survey. Reported by PMLiVE.

Molecular NeuroImaging (Micro Strategies)

NOTE: The complete list of form templates for a Site are stored in the Form Templates folder. Only “Approved” templates are automatically distributed to the tablet.

Molecular NeuroImaging (Micro Strategies)

1) A list of forms

(Templates) are

pushed to the tablet

from Alfresco.

2) The user selects the

form to be

completed.

Molecular NeuroImaging (Micro Strategies)

1) The user updates

the forms by writing,

selecting items from

a drop down list,

selecting check

boxes or typing on

the soft keyboard.

2) Pushing the submit

button saves the

form and sends it

back to Alfresco. NOTE: There is also a built in

camera. Users can take a picture

with the tablet and have the picture

drop into a “control” in the form.

Molecular NeuroImaging (Micro Strategies)

1) The form will appear in

the user’s inbox 1st and

then be pushed back into

Alfresco.

2) Once the form is sent

back to Alfresco it is

removed from the user’s

inbox.

Molecular NeuroImaging (Micro Strategies)

1) When the form is sent

back to Alfresco, it is

placed in the “Drop

Zone”.

2) The form is identified and

the data is pulled off the

form and applied as

metadata to the

document.

3) The document is

assigned to the Initial

Review Queue.

Molecular NeuroImaging (Micro Strategies)

NOTE: The user accesses the document from the MSI Profiler. This allows the user to review both the document/form and the metadata. If information is updated on the form, it can also be pushed to the document’s metadata.
