Getting at the heart of readmissions May 14, 2013 |

Alan Portela

I will always stay true to my belief that health systems need to take an enterprise-wide approach to mobility. But at the same time, I'm often asked by hospital CEOs and CIOs how they should prioritize mobility when it comes to different care areas. My first answer is to look at your current challenges and strategic initiatives and then ask how mobility can help you to get there. While I always emphasize the benefit of mobility across all departments, cardiology is where I see the potential for mobility to make the most immediate impact - especially when it comes to improving outcomes and reducing readmissions.
