"SonoSite is dedicated to providing clinicians with tools to improve the way they access information, and there is no better way to do this than having it at the point-of-care via a mobile application," said David Uhler, Slalom Consulting's national director of research and development. "Slalom took SonoSite's concept and brought it to life through an innovative technology infrastructure and software solution. Through our partnership with SonoSite, we've delivered an iPhone app that will serve as an educational tool and resource initially tailored for those medical professionals in emergency medicine, critical care and anesthesia departments."
SonoSite sought the expertise of Slalom consultants for the development of an iPhone reference application that doctors could conveniently use at the point-of-care -- be it in the emergency room or by a patient's bedside. SonoSite and Slalom jointly designed the SonoAccess app which, at the tap of a finger, provides an on-demand educational library of high quality clinical and instructional videos, case studies, reimbursement information and reference guides on point-of-care ultrasound applications.
The architecture behind the application enables users to create a customized profile, complete with content specific to their practice. Based on the application's heavy use of video as well as its potential for growth, Slalom recommended that SonoSite utilize Amazon Web Services for its flexibility and scalability as both content and user demand increases.
"Physicians need practical tools that provide quick and easy access to information," said Gina Kelly, director of clinical training and learning products at SonoSite. "SonoAccess takes the concept of a pocket reference guide to a whole new level and places a comprehensive library of ultrasound videos and information right in the palm of a clinician's hand. SonoSite has been at the forefront of the medical industry in bringing diagnostic tools to the patient. The release of SonoAccess is yet another innovative solution for physicians to enhance their bedside assessment skills."
