<i>"Sprint (NYSE: S) and Global Care Quest Inc. today made a significant step in the healthcare industry, by announcing their agreement to offer the Integrated Clinical Information System Mobile (ICIS Mobile) solution to healthcare providers. This secure remote solution, available on select Sprint handheld devices and smart phones, delivers critical real-time patient information to intensivists - physicians specializing in the care of intensive care patients - both inside and outside the hospital. With ICIS Mobile, a physician attending their son’s soccer league game can respond instantly to emergencies by accessing complete patient data on their handheld device - delivering the right care, right away. Under this new agreement, ICIS Mobile will be available on select Sprint phones, including the Sprint PCS VisionSM Smart Device PPC-6700. In a typical hospital intensive care unit (ICU) setting physicians have to rely on multiple sources to retrieve patient information, which can be time consuming. With ICIS Mobile, physicians have instant access to comprehensive patient information, securely and remotely, on their handheld devices."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20060214-ICIS.jpg" /><br /><br />Sprint and GCQ have tied the knot to deliver the <a href="http://www.globalcarequest.com/mobile.htm">ICIS Mobile</a> healthcare solution on select Sprint devices, such as the PPC-6700. This agreement will allow physicians to leverage the power of EV-DO on the PPC-6700 to access patient information (diagnostic images, results, video feeds, and clinical notes) in real-time. Neat!
