TRUST DIGITAL’S ENTERPRISE MOBILITY MANAGEMENT PLATFORM DEPLOYED BY LEADING HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS
Mobile Innovation Improves Efficiency, Decreases Costs and Enhances Overall Quality of Patient Care
McLean, Virginia – January 13, 2009 – Trust Digital, the leading enterprise mobility management (EMM) provider, today announced the company’s technology has been deployed at several leading healthcare organizations across the country to help manage and secure smartphone devices used by doctors, nurses and pharmacists. Trust Digital’s comprehensive management and security solution supports a diverse environment of mobile devices, ensuring HIPAA compliance and faster access to data and real-time patient information.
Strategy Analytics recently surveyed healthcare IT professionals and found that one in four employees now rely on mobile smartphone technology to do their jobs. Of those surveyed, the number one priority was cutting costs. Mobility initiatives help facilitate the move from paper-based processes to electronic data collection to reduce medication errors, improve efficiency of care and enable the observation and monitoring of patients for research and quality improvement. With this rapid adoption of mobile technology, healthcare organizations require mobility management solutions that help them meet their security compliance guidelines while also controlling their mobility expense.
“Our healthcare customers are dually committed, first, to the protection of their patients, and second, with a desire to support mobile innovation in their organizations,” said Nick Magliato, chief executive officer of Trust Digital. “Our enterprise mobility management platform enables organizations to access a variety of applications while embracing all the newest mobile devices, like the Apple iPhone™, without having to procure multiple solutions which decreases costs and hassle for the IT department and helpdesk workers. Since doctors and nurses are now armed with devices that give them quick and easy access to real-time information, patients reap the benefits of a faster, more knowledgeable and more accurate group of caregivers.”
In 2008 Trust Digital worked closely with CIOs and their IT staff at some of the nation’s leading healthcare organization to develop complete and seamless mobile strategies, a summary of which is provided below. These organizations’ IT departments rely on Trust Digital to support and manage device usage, as well as ensure compliance with HIPAA regulations and facilitate a move to electronic patient health information (ePHI) records.
• A major integrated managed care organization with over 15,000 users – including doctors, nurses and pharmacists – needed support for an enterprise-wide deployment of Windows Mobile, Palm, Symbol and Intermec devices for corporate and patient email communications, as well as specialized health care applications such as Epocrates. Trust Digital provided a single platform that manages a wide variety of handheld devices and their different use cases. Role based access of the Trust Digital EMM Console provided additional operational efficiencies by allowing compliance, operations and help desk specialists to utilize a common management platform with tools and reporting specific to their IT job.
• A global technology-driven health care company developing pharmaceuticals, biologics and medical devices needed a single console from which to manage C-level executives using 3G iPhones and a nationwide deployment of sales persons using Windows Mobile to access a mobile CRM application. The Trust Digital EMM platform was the only solution to support both the iPhone and Windows Mobile from a single console, providing corporate users with device choice while also maintaining regulatory compliance.
• One of the largest and most diverse academic medical centers in the country, with a statewide deployment of over 3,000 Windows Mobile users, required a solution extensible to Symbian that supported a fixed mobile convergence strategy and different email platforms. Trust Digital was the only platform providing both device management and security compliance that is extensible to a variety of smartphones, email platforms and modes of ownership (i.e. user or medical center).
Trust Digital’s enterprise mobility management platform is the only enterprise platform on the market that secures and manages a truly heterogeneous smartphone environment. The platform helps the healthcare CIO control smartphone costs while also protecting patient and corporate information. Trust Digital’s centralized management eliminates operational expense by simplifying how IT administrators and help desk specialists implement policies, assist users and enforce compliance for mobile applications across the enterprise. In addition, its unique software-overlay architecture avoids datacenter expense by easily integrating with existing directory services, database resources and VPN infrastructure. These capabilities, combined with support for almost any smartphone, enables the healthcare CIO to provide choices of smartphones and applications to best meet the mobility needs of their workers.
