Vodacom Business has partnered with Mezzanineware to launch a number of mobile cloud-based health services.<\/p>\n
The services, called mHealth services, allow health care or technology providers to improve access to clients, assets and employees through real-time data collection, information processing, management and reporting.<\/p>\n
These mHealth services can be deployed by third-party service providers, Vodacom said.<\/p>\n
“Originally built for the highly demanding health industry, the services have been customised to work across various industry verticals,” Vodacom said.<\/p>\n
The services are enabled through Mezzanineware (previously called GeoMed Ventures), which is experienced in the development of mobile, clinical and administrative decision support systems for emerging markets.<\/p>\n
This service is a cost effective and easy to implement mobile workforce tool that monitors and evaluates the performance of an individual (e.g. health care worker) based on his\/her job description, to ensure that high quality service is provided.<\/p>\n
This application allows management to link remuneration to performance and quality of service delivered.<\/p>\n
This service enables stock levels or measured parameters to be submitted with a mobile or machine-to-machine device on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. By using the application the asset can be monitored from a centralised web-based portal and appropriate management actions automated.<\/p>\n
This enables\u00a0health departments to avoid stock-outs on dispensing level. This is important as assuring the availability of drugs is essential in providing quality health care services.<\/p>\n
This service provides a standard and integrated mechanism with which customer information can be effectively recorded, tracked, analysed and subsequently reported to the relevant stakeholders for management and interaction.<\/p>\n
This means that home and community based care services in the primary health care system will be able to manage patient information with real-time, accurate reporting to health departments, corporate employers or funding parties.<\/p>\n
This service is an event or transaction capturing tool for mobile phones. It uses time-stamp, GPS positioning and the camera of the phone to seamlessly capture and report information in real-time.<\/p>\n
For example, a health and wellness prevention (screening) module can be used by social and health service providers to enable the implementation of de-centralised preventative programmes on a community, corporate or home-based level.<\/p>\n
Once a risk has been identified during screening, the application proposes a follow-up action that is specific to the health care service provider.<\/p>\n
