developing a technology that utilizes tablet PC technology with
an innovative software product called Mi-Forms (Mi-Co, Inc.,

portable, incorporating information that already exists in the
hospital information system with data at the point of care. Richard E. Shaw, Sutter Pacific Heart Centers HCT Project Volume 4, January 30, 2007 Intelligent Communications Enhance Productivity What does intelligent communications mean to a healthcare
organization? Quite simply, it is the result of embedding communications
inside your work flow and processes. Leveraging this
intelligence means hospitals can use different communications
tools depending upon the particular user, environment or operational
requirement. Today, intelligent communications enables
healthcare organizations of all sizes (from a local physician’s office
to a nationwide healthcare system) to deliver competitive advantage
through improved organizational efficiency. Avaya HCT Project Volume 4, January 30, 2007 Intelligent Communications for Healthcare Avaya designs, builds and

care that soon will be exacerbated as the baby boomer
generation ages. This growing demand for chronic care is
placing a tremendous economic burden on governments, private
employers and individual consumers, and it is straining the
capacity of skilled care professionals and nursing homes. Meanwhile,
technologies, like miniaturized sensors, wireless networks
and mobile devices, are enabling telehealth and remote monitoring
of patients, and redefining the new healthcare reality. Luis E. Taveras, Accenture, Dr. Dadong Wan, Accenture HCT Project Volume 4, January 30, 2007 Enterprise-Class 360° Revenue Cycle Management Solutions for the Patient-Centric Provider GHN is an enterprise-class

requires a new strategy – a paradigm shift that telehealth is uniquely
positioned to provide. Although telehealth technology spans the
basic to the futuristic, it’s fundamentally defined as the use of electronic
data and communication systems to deliver medical information
and services remotely through a telephone line or the Internet.
Although the concept is simple, the impact is significant. WebVMC HCT Project Volume 4, January 30, 2007 Industry-Leading Technology Expands Remote Patient Care WebVMC offers softwarebased
