    Key takeaways ford4 and the mobile healthcare industry

    Takeaways for themobile health care industryWhat can we do to increase the use of mobile technology?Health care professionals typically carry their own phone while at workNo one mobile handset or network dominates supply: value is a major decision factor in both casesThis is perhaps unsurprising given that health care professionals incur a financial cost for work related usage that is rarely compensatedThis usage is primarily for communicating with colleagues, although using smart phone functionality is also a significant factorEconomics are not the only factor that inhibits mobile phone usage – employer policy appears inconsistent with employees general belief that mobiles raise productivityRecognise that employees, not employers, are the buyers
