Oral Presentation AGES XXVIII Annual Scientific Meeting 2018

Evolution of the Modern Practice: Get Your Head out of the Cloud, let the Genie out of the Bottle (5881)

Michael Wynn-Williams

The use of information technology in medical practice has exponentially increased in the last ten years. With the advent of powerful multifunction computer platforms disguised as telephones that hide in our pockets, we have never been more constantly connected to our chosen field of employment. Depending on your age, you may see this as a blessing or a curse. 

A multitude of different business and medical applications (apps) have been developed that will synchronise across many different operating systems using “the cloud”. This presentation will demonstrate how the use of a number of these key applications can allow the modern busy O&G support their practice. It will include apps that can save time, money and energy, rather than allowing technology to consume their valuable free time. The implications of the new privacy laws on the use of mobile devices and apps to manage patient data will be discussed.
