Mobile edoclink: a mobile workflow and document management application for healthcare institutions

摘要

The exponential growth of mobile devices, like smart phones and tablets, has led to a growing ubiquitous computing paradigm, in which computing is distributed and available anytime, anywhere and supported by different devices. The document and workflow management in organizations is made through computers connected to one or several servers via a networking infrastructure. The emergence of ubiquitous computing paradigm leads those solutions to be adapted for mobile platforms. Thus, users tasks can be done in a more efficient way due to the availability of information wherever they are using a mobile device, improving both the time needed to complete tasks and organizations' efficiency. In this paper we present the mobile version of edoclink document and workflow management solution. Edoclink system was developed by Link Consulting and is widely implemented in several healthcare institutions.
