Mobile devices have become ever-present in our daily lives, and it is difficult to participate fully in activities of the global economy and 21st century life without access to mobile devices.
According to a 2015 mobile consumer survey by Deloitte, mobile has become indispensable across all demographics and geographies, and is now equated with life’s essentials: air, water, food – and smartphones.
The New Hub for Connectivity
Today, the Pew Research Center reports that more than 77% of Americans own smartphones. Mobile devices are vital for completing daily personal activities and professional duties, and consumer attachment to mobile devices continues to strengthen.
It is therefore not surprising that more individuals check their smartphones first thing in the morning and seem to never put down their devices. Advances in mobile technology have made these devices no longer just simple tools, limited to telephone calls and basic communication, but they have become a hub for connectivity, opening doors to internet-of-things, mobile payments, virtual reality and more.
Healthcare Becomes Mobile
Mobile technology is also becoming essential to the healthcare industry. As healthcare evolves to better leverage mobile devices, patients can take a more active role in their care and clinicians can access information they need, when they need it.
As the fastest growing home health technology company, Axxess provides a complete suite of innovative, cloud-based software, services and mobile solutions to empower healthcare providers with technology to make lives better.
Consumers Seek Security & Privacy
Though willingness to share information has continued to increase over the past three years, according to Deloitte, most consumers keep security and privacy top of mind and prefer to choose and control what information is shared.
Security is always top priority at Axxess, and our HIPAA-compliant, responsive mobile app, for both iOS and Android devices, helps clinicians accurately document at the point of care and ensures compliance through electronic visit verification, which also helps reduce fraud.
Axxess has introduced the first-ever OASIS documentation capability on any phone or tablet, and empowers clinicians in the field with the ability to securely document comprehensive patient assessments while simultaneously providing care – all from their mobile device, right in the palm of their hand.
It’s clear that mobile technology will continue to play an increasingly vital role in our lives and enable better connectivity for all, especially healthcare consumers. Axxess is committed to leading the way in mobile innovation and healthcare technology, and we will always stay true to our philosophy of focusing on customer needs at all times.
