A Call for Participation:  Mobile Computing Usage Amongst Physicians

Please respond directly to Gregg.

Thank you,

 

My name is Gregg Malkary, Founder and Managing Director of the Spyglass Consulting Group, a leading market intelligence firm and consultancy focusing on the nexus of information technology and healthcare.

 

I am in the process of updating a market research study on mobile computing usage amongst physicians in the healthcare industry.  To develop the subject matter I am conducting telephone interviews with over 100 physicians at healthcare organizations nationwide. 

 

I would like to talk with you for approximately 30-35 minutes to discuss:

• your daily workflow inefficiencies and bottlenecks
• how you are using mobile computing solutions today
• how you envision mobile computing solutions being used in the future

This market report is being targeted at:

·                     Software & hardware vendors, systems integrators and management consultants who are selling mobile computing devices, applications and services into the healthcare industry. 

·                     Hospital administrators and IT executives who are making strategic decisions to fund clinical IT solutions including mobile computing. 

·                     Investment banking and private equity investors

 

Spyglass’ current research, Healthcare without Bounds, focuses on the current and future potential of mobile computing and wireless technologies within the healthcare industry. 

In November 2003, Spyglass published its first study, Trends in Mobile Computing that provided insights and perspectives on how Physicians are using mobile clinical solutions at the point of care. 

In June 2004, Spyglass published its second study, Mobile Computing in Nursing that provided valuable insights and perspectives on how nurses are using mobile computing solutions at the bedside and how these solutions ca best be used to solve workflow inefficiencies. 

 

Spyglass customers include leading high technology vendors such as McKesson, Cerner, Philips Medical, Cardinal Health, MercuryMD, ePocrates, IBM, NEC, Palm, Symantec, Citrix, Foundry Networks, Vocera Communications, PwC, and Cap Gemini.
