What is ‘awareness computing’? | Healthcare IT News

MemorialCare Health System has implemented awareness computing technology at the Orange Coast Memorial Medical Center in California, in order to provide roaming clinicians with instant access to patient records while maintaining security. The technology, provided by Aventura, delivers awareness of a user’s identity, role, location within the hospital, and the device they are using. The platform enables immediate connectivity to the patient record and relevant systems for a particular clinician’s role. This allows clinicians to be more efficient and productive in fast-paced environments like the emergency department.
