Mobile Health Information System Integrated with VoIP Technology in a Wireless Hospital

摘要

National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) launched a pilot project which exploits existing wireless environment covering medical campus, main hospital and branch hospitals. IP phones with communication applications including direct calls, broadcasting, and conferencing were provided to doctors, nurses, and staffs in NTUH. Handheld devices including PDA and tablet PC were used as user interfaces to access electronic medical records and medical images of patients at anytime and in anywhere. In this project VoIP technology integrates with a mobile hospital information system, enabling seamless and spaceless collaboration among medical professionals and administration staff to provide a continuous and comprehensive healthcare for patients in the hospital.
