Background information for the smartphone caregiver story


Questions asked

  • How have you used cell phones, smart phones, and/or iPads in your work at the hospital?
  • When did you notice this phenomenon first take place?
  • Why do you use this technology at work?
  • How do you use this technology in the hospital environment?
  • What issues did you encounter re HIPAA/Patient privacy?
  • I understand you were involved with a pilot study using iPhone for Facetime. Would you tell me a little more about that?

Fact checking
What the interviewees said about their Facetime/iPhone pilot study corroborated. Nothing has been published yet, but the two doctors and designer of the study were in agreement about details of their participation.

Sources
I was able to connect with all five sources.

What could be added
I would love to make a photograph of the critical care transport team with the patient in the hospital, video conferencing with the off site doc. It could be a documented moment, but more likely illustrative to protect patient privacy.
