A multi-pronged session showcasing results from two complementary research projects about clinical communication and mobile devices care teams use to collaborate. Findings from the research project will highlight how a secure smartphone application used by both hospital clinicians and community practice providers improves patient care and care team experience. As mobile devices become more and more common in healthcare, it is important to standardize communication to simplify workflows. It is also important to adopt certain security protocols – from cyber to sanitary. Therefore, the speaker will share results and recommendations from an investigation into cleaning methods of smartphones and wearables to prevent infectious contamination in a patient care environment.
