Minneapolis, Minn.-based Spok Inc. has released Spok Mobile 4.0, the fourth iteration of its secure messaging app for healthcare settings. Spok Mobile makes a messaging platform for efficient and secure communication of images, videos, and text, and to make quick connections for better patient care. The bradn was created in July by USA Mobility Wireless and Amcom Software. After the announcement the solution formerly called Amcom Mobile Connect is now Spok Mobile.
Spok Mobile’s platform is designed to give providers fast access to the full staff directory and up-to-date on-call schedules. The solution contains prioritized messaging capabilities, full audit trails, and automatic escalations. The solution provides complete data encryption and clinical workflow enhancements.
A key new feature of the 4.0 version, called Spheres, lets users create multiple groups of colleagues within the app, and is touted as particularly useful for providers who work at multiple locations or who need to communicate with other providers in the community. Available for free from Apple and Android app stores, the Spheres feature allows clinicians to try Spok Mobile as a stand-alone messaging solution. Other features in the Spok Mobile 4.0 release include user interface enhancements for a more intuitive experience, user profile enhancements, status settings that clearly show if a provider is available, and a simplified registration process. Spok Mobile 4.0 is available as a hosted cloud-based or on-premise solution.
