HIPAA-Compliant Application on
MobiSecure® Platform
Increases Clinician Productivity, Improves Patient
Outcomes
TORONTO, March 22 /PRNewswire/ - Healthcare professionals
now have a solution for securely and remotely communicating with
patients via mobile devices and tablets, thanks to the Clinical
Communicator application announced today by Diversinet Corp. (TSX
Venture: DIV, OTCBB: DVNTF).
Clinical Communicator leverages the power and unique
functionality of Diversinet's field-proven MobiSecure®
Publisher and MobiSecure SMS, enabling physicians, nurses and other
clinicians to communicate securely with their patients via mobile
devices and tablets. The mobile client and Web interfaces for
healthcare professionals are automated and user-friendly. Patients
can continue to use existing MobiSecure mobile clients, such as
mClient and mText.
Clinical Communicator is a HIPAA-compliant application that
makes it possible for clinicians to securely:
- Send messages and notices to patients
- Reply to patients' questions
- View and update patient health information
- Schedule, view, confirm and cancel appointments
- Send notices to other internal clinicians
- Send summaries of lab and test results
- Enable secure remote monitoring via interface with third-party
biomedical devices
- Enable real-time video calling
- Configure automatic reminders and alerts
Benefits for patients include ability to use smart phones and
tablets to ask questions and reply to clinicians; receive automated
medication reminders, health tips and alerts; manage their personal
health information; view and share health insurance information;
schedule appointments; check in; and request prescription
renewal.
"Healthcare organizations often rely on fragmented and disparate
systems with information that resides in silos, making secure
collaboration and communication difficult," said Diversinet CEO
Albert Wahbe. "The Clinical
Communicator gives time-challenged health professionals a tool to
deliver the right information at the right time, making it faster
and easier to communicate with patients and collaborate across the
healthcare ecosystem."
Clinical Communicator will be available for trials in June.
Diversinet will market the application through partnerships with
large healthcare organizations, including providers and
pharmaceutical companies. Clinical Communicator is also suitable
for drug and clinical trials and for case and disease management.
It is designed to help healthcare organizations fulfill Meaningful
Use (MU) requirements.
Diversinet will demonstrate Clinical Communicator in Booth 4191
in the Wireless Health Pavilion at the CTIA Wireless convention at
the Orange County Convention
Center in Orlando, Fla., from
March 22-24.
