Have you ever been a patient in a hospital? If not, perhaps you have had the experience of having a member of the relatives or other loved spend time in a hospital.
In either case, Ill bet of the most annoying and anxiety causing things about spending time in the hospital was not knowing when the doctor would be making rounds. These days, more often then not, the doctor caring for you isnt your personal doctor, but a hospitalistâ, a doctor who focuses on caring for patients in the work of their hospital stay. Patients often have questions about their condition or care, and anxiously wait all day for the hospital doctor to pop in to the room in the work of his or her rounds.That is just one of the benefits of software designed by the clinicians of MedOne Hospital Physicians of Columbus, Ohio. MedOne founder, Dr. Joseph Mack, and his business partner Nick Nelson have developed a software solution on Microsoft technology that helps “hospitalist” physicians do a better job for their patients.
When asked why MedOne decided to use Microsoft technology for its solutions Dr. Mack said, “For us, when it came to developing enterprise-wide software solutions, using Microsoft tools made the most sense in terms of the broad set of tools available that integrate well together and that are scalable and secure.” The group is eager to begin developing their solution for the Windows 8 operating system. “Doing so will enable us to make our software even more intuitive because it gets you past the hardware barriers of a keyboard and mouse”, said Dr. Mack. The keyboard and mouse are great tools, but when it comes to a broad array of users, there is something so much more intuitive about directly interacting through a multi-touch interface.”
