November 20th, 2006 | | Posted in Partners |

Hand Held Products, Inc., a leader in image-based data collection solutions in healthcare, and IQMax, Inc., a leading provider of mobile healthcare solutions, today announced a partnership enabling healthcare professionals to deliver improved care through real-time access to information and connectivity to facilities.

As a result of this alliance, doctors and nurses can accomplish many more tasks, such as capturing a dictation or a charge, or even viewing clinical information and decision support media content on a single wireless device.

Using Hand Held Products’ Dolphin 7900, caregivers can access and utilize the IQMax mobile healthcare solutions:

  • IQSpeak — Intelligent Dictation, a revolutionary, yet simple, fast, and intelligent mobile dictation alternative to traditional input devices
  • IQCharge — Intelligent Charge Capture, a fast, accurate, and intuitive solution to mobile charge capture in inpatient and outpatient settings
  • IQRounds — Intelligent Clinical Results, a replacement for traditional paper-based charting systems with a secure and fast mobile option
  • IQChannels — Intelligent Decision Support, delivering multimedia decision support content linked contextually to a physician’s patients and multimedia content customized for the authorized physician end user

“IQMax’s product has revolutionized the entire process of transcription in my practice,” says Rick Weidman, MD, a Retina Specialist at Horizon Eye Care, in Charlotte, NC. “At a glance, I can see the schedule of patients on my hand held device and know whether or not I have dictated a letter back to the referring doctor. Additionally, the way that IQMax captures the patient demographic information from Horizon’s practice management system makes the downstream process more efficient for my staff members.”

“Doctors, nurses and caregivers want to consolidate critical applications onto one, easy-to-use device,” said Scott Garmon, Senior Product Manager, Mobility Systems, Hand Held Products. “Our mobile devices coupled with IQMax’s mobile healthcare solutions will improve workflow and consolidate critical patient information in a secure mobile environment.”

“We view Hand Held Products as offering leading enterprise hand held devices coupled with the features and functionality that the consumer PDA market cannot address for healthcare,” said Paul Adkison, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of IQMax. “Hand Held Products’ mobile computers were the obvious choice for delivering our solutions given their leading position within the healthcare market.”
