U.S. Military Tests EHR Applications on Mobile Commercial Devices

The U.S. military is testing commercial mobile devices for usability with its electronic health record applications, Government Health IT reports.

Lt. Col. William Geesey — product manager at the Army’s Medical Communications for Combat Casualty Care organization — said officials are testing tactical EHR applications on the:

  • iPad;
  • iPod Touch;
  • iPhone;
  • Sprint HTC EVO; and
  • Samsung Epic.

According to Geesey, early results indicate that versions of the Army’s EHR technology work on the Apple and Droid operating systems.

However, he said testing still has a long way to go. Geesey noted that the devices “must clear a myriad of hurdles, including data-at-rest encryption requirements, clearance for wireless use in theater, and a bevy of [Department of Defense] and local signal certifications.”

The testing is part of telehealth and EHR projects under way at bases in Afghanistan and Iraq (Buxbaum, Government Health IT, 12/10).
