MediMobile Weekly Rounds – May 19, 2014

MediMobile Weekly Rounds is a look at what has happened in the past week at MediMobile, from new user preferences to company news. We want to make sure that our customers are in the loop about changes and improvements we have made to our Charge Capture solution.

Last week we updated our mobile platform for Apple devices, both the iPhone and iPad. This update not only streamlined bill creation but brought our scheduling tool to provider’s handheld devices as well. Over the weekend, we released an update for Android devices as well.

Today we’ll go over a few important points about the state of our mobile app.

The New MediMobile mHealth App

The core of our mobile application is and always will be mobile charge capture. We make it easy for providers to create patient bills at the point of care. But over time our software has evolved to bring a variety of other tools to the point of care. These include data capture, secure texting, scheduling tools and the patient handoff tool. Here are some things you need to know to take full advantage of MediMobile.

MediMobile Connectivity

MediMobile is the only charge capture tool that does not require a persistent wireless connection to create patient bills. Providers can create a charge wherever they are and sync it whenever they next have internet access.

But while our charge capture tool doesn’t require an internet connection, our scheduling and instant messaging tools do. Luckily cellular data can allow providers to use these tools in practice or hospitals without having Wi-Fi access. Providers should just keep the different internet requirements in mind when using our mobile app.

Using MediMobile’s New Tools

We’ve added tons of great new tools tool our mobile platform to help make all aspects of patient care easier for physicians. But some iPhone and iPad users may not see these new tools. If you use an Apple device, have downloaded our latest update, and still don’t see the scheduling option in the menu, there’s a simple fix.

Updating your operating system is crucial if you want to use the most updated version of most apps on your phone. For MediMobile users, updating to iOS 7 or later allows you to access both our scheduling tools for providers and the patient handoff tool from your mobile device.

Quote for the Week

“There are more than 9,000 billing codes for individual procedures and units of care. But there is not a single billing code for patient adherence or improvement, or for helping patients stay well.”
