HP iPAQ Pocket PCs Help Improve Patient Care

Overview Community medicine moves ahead Based in the suburban communities of Sewickley and Beaver, Pennsylvania, Heritage Valley Health System has more than 4,000 employees and over 300 active physicians who support two hospitals and a host of outlying clinics and physician offices. To enhance patient care and drive workplace efficiencies, Heritage Valley worked with physicians over several years to develop and deploy an Electronic Health Record (EHR) that made patient information available from desktop computers at kiosks throughout the hospital system. The EHR even gave doctors access to patient information stored in their practice systems. Heritage Valley outfitted its physicians with HP iPAQ Pocket PCs to improve workplace efficiency and patient care.
