The first project the RTI “Wireless Access for Health” is a public/private collaboration to streamline the reporting process at clinics and hospitals in the Philippines and improve access to accurate and timely patient information for clinicians and decision-makers. As a result, midwives, and other health workers now have mobile access to the Community Health Information Tracking System (CHITS) developed by the University of the Philippines in Manila on a 3G-enabled tablet.
The second project “Care Beyond Walls and Wires” launched at the Flagstaff Medical Center (FMC) in Flagstaff Arizona is Northern Arizona’s only regional referral center caring for more than 85,000 patients each year.
The project provides mobile broadband tools to Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) patients to improve their coordination of care following a discharge from the hospital. The goal is to engage patients in their own healthcare, decrease hospital readmission rates for CHF within 30 days, and increase patient satisfaction.
The third project with assistance from the International Community Foundation is working to help to curb the current diabetes epidemic in northern Mexico and around the world. The “Dulce Wireless Tijuana” project is doing a bi-national multi-sector study to examine how the chronic care model together with 3G wireless internet access can better manage diabetes.
