We have formulated a Consortium to carry out software development to enable the medical users to quick-access and view patient anamnesis, parameters of the current health status, clinical, laboratory and medical data at the sick-bed within the ward.

In the last few years the lack of radiologists started to spread in Hungarian hospitals endangering the operation of the hospitals, making healthcare nearly impossible so that the hospitals cannot meet even the specified minimal conditions. Managing the ‘on duty’ healthcare faces with serious challenges too. Further problem is taking care of the patients who need specialists in their treatments, as the hospitals also lack those doctors with special knowledge.

To be able to solve the above problems – in sync with other countries in the world – the remote radiology has started to formulate. The practical problem of the remote radiology is that the teleradiologist has to accommodate to several different medical systems with different display and structure – making the workflow of the diagnosis creation difficult and time consuming. In order to solve this issue we started to develop the Remote radiology module as a part of the MobilMed project. The module itself provides unified graphical user interface for the teleradiologist, while connecting to different medical systems thus optimizing the work flow of the remote radiology.

Our application which can be run on several mobile platforms (currently under development) makes the information available at the place of the healthcare by connecting to the database of the medical systems of the hospitals. The doctor users of the application can record new medication for the clients order healthcare services, etc. The built-in professional databases and decision support systems can also help of the work of the doctors and nurses, which can optimize the workflow and lead to improvement of the quality of the healthcare – and the hospitals can also benefit by saving extra work efforts.

Of course, the data appearing on the mobile devices should come from the medical systems of each hospital. This must be solved without storing the data on the clients, thus requiring some kind of wireless connection, for example WIFI, GPRS or 3G.
