iPhone, Android and Tablets — Driving Clinical Value from Mobile Devices

The rapid adoption of mobile devices by clinicians and integration of apps into the clinical workflow has created significant opportunities for these devices to become primary tools in the diagnosis and management of disease. This presentation provides an overview of the drivers behind adoption, what clinicians are using, and how one can drive more value from these tools. This presentation took place at the 2013 Technology in Clinical Practice Cruise Conference. View a selection of photos of Tahiti from the cruise.
