Sending70, a Christian charity, worked with web solutions developer QueCentric on a transportable EMR platform that charity workers can carry with them like backpacks. The “Virtual Clinic” uses Filemaker technologies to allow data entry on an iPad and a MacBook Air laptop. Filemaker Go is a free database app available on iTunes, according to DentristyIQ.
Birmingham, Ala.-based QueCentric helped Sending70 build the interfaces. Using the program, charity workers can quickly create records of a patient’s past and current medical conditions and use the records to evaluate and treat conditions such as HIV, diabetes or prenatal needs.
The application also allows workers to remotely contact a U.S.-based physician through the Internet to ask for a second opinion on diagnosis and treatment, according to the report.
