SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HYGIENIC INTERACTION WITH A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Disclosed herein is a portable power source and computing device (collectively herein “mobile subsystem”) that accompany a healthcare professional as he or she treats or examines a patient before moving to another patient in another room. The mobile subsystem provides an interface to a receiving docking device (“stationary subsystem”) located at or near a relatively immobile site of healthcare delivery so that access can be afforded to an electronic medical records system for updating and observation. The disclosure includes a system and method for clinicians to access protected health information from an electronic medical record at different locations with a mobile subsystem that reduces risk of transmitting infection and reduces the need for repeated authentication for secure access.
