How is mobile health technology transforming physician–nurse collaboration?
The integration of mobile health technologies in medical practice has the potential to promote in‐person, high‐quality care. We examine the impact of Voalte, a healthcare‐specific mobile application, on bedside rounding and care coordination. A cross‐sectional survey was conducted on 71 medical ward...

| Sumario: | The integration of mobile health technologies in medical practice has the potential to promote in‐person, high‐quality care. We examine the impact of Voalte, a healthcare‐specific mobile application, on bedside rounding and care coordination. A cross‐sectional survey was conducted on 71 medical ward‐based nurses from a quaternary‐care academic centre, capturing 183 rounding events. The frequency of physician–nurse overlap at the bedside was 50.3%, representing a >20% increase when compared with the 2018 baseline before Voalte's introduction. Our results show that mobile health technologies can strengthen inpatient medicine workflows and interdisciplinary collaboration when implemented successfully. |
