Healthcare on the move: Four UK NHS mobility deployments


The use of smartphones and tablet computers is delivering tremendous benefits in healthcare but comes with some challenges, whether mobile devices are issued by the organisation or are owned by employees:
  • To secure the devices and data against loss or theft;
  • To maintain compliance with internal and external security and confidentiality mandates, especially with respect to Patient Identifiable Data;
  • To simplify initial provisioning and on-going configuration - ensuring the users have immediate access to their data and apps, especially when devices are shared between users.
This report shows how the ICT teams of four NHS organisations are using MobileIron Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions to manage mobile device proliferation, including smartphones, tablets, mobile application usage, and demands from employees for greater mobility; and enabling user-driven innovation while maintaining security over their mobile estates.

  • patient safety should trump all other values; corporate concerns about liability and intellectual property ownership may be valid but should not over-ride all other considerations;

  • institutions are duty-bound to provide ethics education to purchasers and users, and should commit publicly to standards of corporate conduct; and
  • vendors, system purchasers, and users should encourage and assist in each others’ efforts to adopt best practices.
