Wireless Importance Recognized




In Oklahoma City hospitals today,

healthcare professionals can

access records from anywhere,

including patient bedsides




Visitors and patients can reduce

stress or relieve boredom during

a hospital stay by streaming movies

or surfing the Internet with free

wireless access




Patients can alleviate the loneliness

and keep in touch by computer

with friends and loved ones




Online Records




EMRs allow healthcare professionals

immediate access to medical

records for faster, safer, more

efficient care




Most hospitals in Oklahoma City

provide online access for patients

to their records,




empowering them by allowing them

to see test results, fill prescriptions,

and in many cases send messages

to their doctors




Adopting Voice Recognition

for Health Records




Nearby Norman, Oklahoma, has

installed voice recognition software

specially designed for medical

needs in its Regional Health System




This makes the process of note

taking and keying entry into EMRs

more efficient and allows healthcare

professionals to be more productive




Using Cutting Edge Technology





are often early adopters

of leading-edge technology:




• Oklahoma Heart Hospital uses

a monitor to watch for arrhythmia

in patients




• The OU Medical Center uses

a program that provides real-time

translation for a number of

languages




• Oklahoma City’s ProCure Proton

Therapy Center was one of the first

centers established in the nation

to provide proton radiation

therapy for cancer




Oklahoma City Hospital Managers

Are Keeping Up With Tech




Not only are hospital managers

keeping up with tech, they are

in many cases innovating and

developing technology to be

used for healthcare




The state government is involved

in medical technology as well –




it is a law that non-profit hospitals

and health centers in Oklahoma

receive a line or wireless connection

free of charge for telemedicine




What ways do you see that


are keeping up with technology?
