Abstract
Healthcare organizations are looking to implement mobile health applications that significantly improve healthcare delivery, yet adhere to existing health information privacy and security rules and regulations. However, these same organizations are struggling to find comprehensive frameworks, guidelines, and examples on how to successfully accomplish these interrelated goals. This paper presents a set of guiding principles specific to designing and building practitioner oriented mHealth applications. The system design is described, including the security features that were implemented, and results from performance testing in a live field test environment on 20 ambulances and 7 hospitals.
