The healthcare industry deals with an enormous amount of complex data that is often quite time and security sensitive. Mobility solutions can deliver enormous benefits to the industry as a whole, such as reducing costs and improving response time. For example, a slow and people-intensive paper-based delivery and route system can be replaced with a more efficient and cost-effective mobility solution. Doctors can use mobile devices to write and transmit prescriptions, thereby reducing errors, due to poorly written requests. Wireless package tracking systems can allow rapid updates of delivery information to a server that customers can access to determine details of their deliveries. Patient care can also be revolutionized with mobility. By providing mobile access to patient data, health professionals can look up individual statistics, prescriptions and test results at the critical moments when they're needed. Prescriptions can be filled more rapidly because time-consuming verifications are eliminated. Wireless updates to patient records can reduce paper and manual administration and provide for real-time updates to patient records. Sun technology can help provide the reliability and scalability necessary to support thousands of daily transactions and tens of thousands of customers. Sun Open Net Environment (Sun ONE) is based on Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations regarding encryption for privacy of patient records. Healthcare applications can include:
