Abstract :
Health care is an important industry that touches most, if not all of us. In today´s context of escalating costs in health care, managed care, regulations such as the Health care Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and a technology savvy patient, the health care industry can no longer be complacent regarding embracing technologies to enable better, more effective and efficient practice management. Our paper then, serves to outline an appropriate, feasible mobile solution to enable hospitals operate effectively and efficiently in today´s competitive and costly health care environment as well as meet all the necessary regulatory requirements.
