One-on-One Training Sessions Accelerate the Adoption of Mobile Healthcare Technology and Lower Costs

AUSTIN, Texas, April 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Movero Technology, a leading provider of managed IT services for enterprise mobility, today announced that it has delivered over 10,000 hands-on training sessions for physicians and healthcare professionals deploying mobile ePrescription applications on handheld devices.

According to the Institute of Medicine, medication mistakes are among the most common medical errors in the U.S., harming at least 1.5 million people every year. Additionally, the extra medical costs of treating drug-related injuries occurring in hospitals alone conservatively amount to $3.5 billion each year. By writing prescriptions electronically, healthcare providers can avoid many of the mistakes that accompany handwritten prescriptions. Additionally, most mobile e-prescribing applications offer healthcare providers immediate access to patient prescription histories, drug interaction checking, and the secure transmission of prescription scripts directly to a pharmacy.

"The healthcare industry is experiencing increased pressure to become more efficient and lower costs while still providing exceptional patient care," said Melanie Gray, CEO of Movero. "Leveraging mobile technology to provide point-of-care reference information helps physicians lower costs while enhancing patient care and improving health outcomes."

According to a recent research study commissioned by Motorola, more than 80 percent of global IT decision makers within the healthcare industry stated that mobile technologies are more important to their organizations today than they were in 2008. Respondents cited key benefits such as increased order fulfillment accuracy, reduced manual errors and increased employee productivity due to the utilization of mobile technologies within various clinical settings.
