ZFrame in clinical use

Information without delay, handheld data capture with full audit trail

Background
Clinicians are mobile professionals, and now computerization can follow suit with ZFrame. Tapping into the hospital's wireless LAN or public cellular networks through ZFrameWorks™, handheld devices can make data access and exchange as mobile and on-the-spot as the clinician.

Meeting the stringent requirements
There are many demanding factors to consider before placing powerful handheld computer access into clinical settings. ZFrame provides a complete suite of capabilites for security and authentication. It also meets applicable regulatory standards for electronic Case Report Forms (e-CRFs), HIPAA requirements, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11.

Transaction buffering
Wireless networks may cease functioning around the block, or around the next hallway. It is imperative that network transactions be buffered to withstand drop-outs without loss of data or transaction integrity. This is also an important part of wireless syncing, ensuring that captured data goes back into the central system as soon as practical, with no loss of integrity.

Cross-platform basis
ZFrame works with both PalmOS and PocketPC, each of which has particular strengths in a clinical setting. This gives systems integrators a transcendent technical basis for deployment.

Internal consistency for speeding deployment
Custom apps for clinical use may be built in Visual Basic or other common tools, building on the ZFrameWorks client-server software. New apps and new projects are simplified with template forms that can be saved and re-used, all supported by the intrinsic functionality of the ZFrame technology.

Custom development services
ZFrame offers a full spectrum of services to assist in transitioning existing content to the handheld, and in building full-blown new custom apps at whatever level of complexity is demanded. Request information…
