Faster physician response to patient updates An alert with lab results can be sent directly to a waiting doctor’s BlackBerry® smartphone. The BlackBerry PlayBook tablet can then be used to review and update patient medical history by accessing the hospital’s physician portal from the browser. Using BlackBerry® Messenger from the tablet or the smartphone, the doctor can also coordinate treatment with residents and clinical teams. The entire BlackBerry® solution can help provide the details needed to deliver timely care that patients expect and deserve.

Point-of-care access to Diagnostic Images From the staff lounge to the bedside, a doctor can open a medical image viewer application on the BlackBerry Playbook tablet to review a patient’s x-rays or MRI. With a treatment in mind, a drug interaction database can be accessed to ensure a safe combination of medicine is prescribed. The BlackBerry tablet provides tools that can help doctors explain finer details of underlying health issues, review Diagnostic Images with team members or discuss medical treatment options with patients.

Expanding the possibilities of telemedicine From video conferencing between doctor and patient to integrating Bluetooth®-based diagnostic devices, the BlackBerry tablet offers a robust platform for advanced telemedicine solutions. With its reliable operating system and rich media, the tablet offers the opportunity to encourage proactive, collaborative care by putting information and accountability into the hands of patients from almost anywhere.

Built to meet the needs of the most demanding users.
