Mobile computing with MCC

Simplified workflows and improved patient care – using mobile equipment at the point of care.

Documentation directly at the patient's bedside does not just make things easier for the hospital staff, it also improves treatment quality. The physician has access to all patient-related information during his rounds, and there is no need for the nursing staff to enter notes written by hand into the computer. Mistakes are avoided and decisions about the patient's treatment are optimized.

Both physician's instructions and the nurses' documentation find their way into the electronic medical record seamlessly.

Advantages at a glance:

  • Access to all information directly at the point of care
  • Saves time by avoiding double entries
  • Reduces transcription errors
  • Improves patient safety
  • Lower patient-care costs

Consistent documentation process

MCC networks all medical, patient-care and administrative processes and supports the use of mobile terminal equipment. MCC ward and patient-care management in particular is oriented to the use of the latest technologies. From mobile physician terminals to tablet PCs and webpads: access to ward management solutions is provided using mobile terminal devices. In addition, barcode scanners and digital cameras ensure comprehensive documentation directly at the point of care. The entire patient workflow is depicted consistently and without system-related gaps.

The ability to integrate mobile terminal devices means that the entire range of functions can be used directly at the patient's bedside. MCC supports the widest variety of technologies. Client communication in MCC was expanded specifically to meet WLAN communication requirements. Thanks to reconnect mechanisms, server access is guaranteed, even if the network connection is interrupted. MCC's user interface is particularly well suited for entering information on a touchpad. Thanks to the use of web-based application servers for specific functions, the system supports all types of PDA devices based on Windows Mobile.
