7. Key Findings
• The majority of healthcare organizations report increasing reliance on mobility. About
80 percent of global information technology (IT) decision makers within the healthcare industry
stated that mobile technologies are more important to their organizations today than they were
in 2008.
• Key applications driving investment in healthcare include electronic health records
(EHR) driven by increasing regulations, computerized physician order entry (CPOE) and
medication administration. Interestingly, surveyed decision makers also noted investment
growth in asset tracking and asset/inventory management.
• Increased order fulfillment accuracy, reduced manual errors, and increased employee
productivity are benefits directly attributed to the utilization of mobile technologies. Mobility
applications were attributed to a 31 percent reduction in manual errors according to those
measuring manual error reduction benefits.
• Using key mobile applications leads to improved use of healthcare workers time;
approximately 39 minutes per day were recovered, a benefit which improves upon itself by
leading to additional benefits in better patient care, reduced medical errors and a improved in
employee efficiency.
• Voice over wireless local area networks (VoWLAN), fixed mobile convergence (FMC)
and data capture offerings are increasingly seen as part of the mobility investment strategy in
healthcare.
