Mobile Clinical Assistant

MCAs (Mobile Clinical Assistants) are designed to meet the demands of the unique clinical environment.

Over the last five years Intel have been researching ways to bring mobile computing to hospitals and healthcare clinics. The MCA concept that Intel developed is now a reality that you can find in place in many hospitals and healthcare clinics around Australia.

As designed by Intel, all MCA computers are designed with:

• A slate tablet for pen input
• An integrated handle for easy carrying
• Disinfectable surfaces for clinical environments

Whilst it is compact and lightweight it is also a very powerful computing platform that runs Windows XP or Vista in conjunction with healthcare specific software.

MCA hardware can be combined with software solutions to enable:

• Access patient records at the point of care
• Document a patient's condition in real time
• Reduction in duplication
• Limitation of transcription errors

Manufacturers with MCAs now on the market in Australia include Motion Computing, and Panasonic Toughbook.
