When used for mobile image viewing, mobile devices support faster interpretation and consultations and improve patient outcomes. This article reviews the clinical and patient care time savings of electronic image exchange using mobile devices and describes the features that mobile image viewers require to achieve these efficiencies safely and securely.
It is no secret that healthcare services around the world are facing systemic challenges caused by demographic change and lifestyle-related conditions.
