“One of the main goals of moving to an electronic repository of the records is to alleviate this problem of not having the correct documentation when and where it is needed.”
User Interfaces are extremely important to acceptance and usage. The KYOS Mobility system provides not only a very intuitive software interface that is easy to learn and easy to use, but also travels where and when it is needed. The fact that the interface is exactly the same, whether on a workstation, laptop or tablet, makes transitioning amoung computers fast and easy. In addition, the user interface is patterned after a paper medical record, yet has all the attributes of search and accessibility. The efficiency of the healthcare worker will be increased, and patient safety should be improved with access to records anytime-anywhere.

Beside, exam and office desk accessibility are keys to different functions. At the bedside and during an exam, having full access to the patient's record means better patient safety. This accessibility becomes very important during emergent situations, where getting a chart from the records room might take minutes - if its there. In the office, away from the patients, the doctor responds to a number of issues that require access to multiple patient's records. Here again, the productivity of a busy physician is increased by having the correct information when she needs it.
Electronic data is portable. Despite being "electronic", many systems are so hard to use or access that its easier just to revert to the paper. This manifests itself when the healthcare providers print out documents just to have easy access to the data. With the KYOS Mobility system, the data is not only truly portable, its easy to get to and use.
It would be a shame if the tablet "walked out the door" - however -the records would not go with it, since none of the data resides on the tablet. The KYOS Mobile System is completely web based, with fully encrypted data transmission. Only a secure log-on gains access to the data. The facility decides accessability locations, as well as who gets access.
The ease of handling the iPad or other tablets makes them a great vehicle to share information with patients. With the KYOS Mobility system, physicians can show what they want to show, in any environment; bedside, in the office, or even in the hallway.
KYOS Collaborate is functional on the iPad and other tablets. This means of saving comments of specific pages within a record and then sharing those comments allows quick access to previous thoughts and greater collaboration on challenges like audits.
