The healthcare industry in the US is a monolithic entity with a budget of trillions of dollars wrought with inefficiencies on many different levels. The implementation of Obama Care and other regulations has pushed the industry to introduce new processes and technologies to improve the products and services it offers. This improvement is being driven by information and communications technology so healthcare providers can better communicate to eliminate redundancies and give patients quality care. One company providing healthcare providers a new communications solution is DataXoom Corp. by targeting mobile, on-site, and in-home healthcare workers.
As a provider of cellular data network connectivity for tablet, mobile hotspots, and specialty devices, DataXoom runs on the largest LTE, CDMA and GSM networks in the country. By leveraging this network and its own technology, the company is able to provide the growing number of mobile healthcare workers which includes home health aides, personal care aides, and certified nursing assistants with a proven communications solution.
The industry as a whole is moving towards providing care to patients in their home because it saves money in the long run, and it also results in better prognosis for the patient because of the comfort they feel in their home environment.
"We are seeing strong demand from healthcare companies as they deploy tablets and other mobile devices to remain connected to their mobile employees. With nearly 2 million people providing in-home and residential-community care, cellular network connectivity is essential for collecting and managing patient information, and for supervising this fast-growing workforce," said John Tantum, DataXoom’s CEO.
DataXoom's initiative for the healthcare industry is designed to provide mobile workers with access to the fastest 4G LTE networks in the country. This ensures they'll be able send and receive information that is critical to patient care. The company has designed special pricing for healthcare companies so they can purchase plans with 2 GB, 5 GB, or 10 GB with the data being pooled across an entire account.
The platform allows administrators the ability to manage users with a single web interface across different mobile networks so they can monitor user authentication, data limits and alerts. Organizations can use existing devices or purchase new or refurbished devices from the company.
The service includes lease services in which healthcare companies can obtain tablet-and-service bundles. The bundle includes the tablets as well as the monthly data service providing enterprises with a single low price for each unit that is deployed. The mobile data pricing can be obtained with a pay-as-you-go plans of 2 to 10 GB that pool across all users. Companies looking for larger data plans can have customized pricing.
All this is available without contracts or termination penalties, which in the past have limited smaller organizations from obtaining these types of services.
