Sharon Metzger, Senior Applications Specialist Client Services, MEDITECH
Emily Slavin, Supervisor Client Services, MEDITECH

MEDITECH's Patient and Consumer Health Portal helps you engage patients and families more actively in their care by providing a secure, confidential web-based tool for accessing health information and communicating with providers. The Mobile Rounding solution is a web-based product for physicians to view clinical information for patients on their rounding list -- much like they would from the Physician Desktop or EMR/Clinical Review, but from a handheld device or tablet. Physicians have easy access to real-time patient information from their mobile device from inside or outside of the hospital. See this and other key components of Mobile Rounding and the Patient Portal during this session.

Solving the Problem List
MAGIC: Stacey Poltack, Senior Applications Specialist Client Services, MEDITECH
Client/Server: Steven Hunt, Supervisor Client Services, MEDITECH
