Paperless documentation through hygienic iPads have many advantages in the hospital Itzehoe – they are a special case they belong to the hospital’s everyday life much like a stethoscope and syringe: iPads are indispensable in the hospital Itzehoe.
For about three years, tablet computers have been in use – and within all areas, from the operating room about the recovery room to intensive care. The devices are also used by the service assistants to take food orders for example.
For the mobile “iMedOne” application all necessary data from the laboratory values up to X-Ray images are available on the iPad. Also wound documentation with photos can additionally be carried out and services such as x-rays or an ECG may be seen.
