“…75,76 This is further reflected in the recent United Kingdom MHRA regulations, which acknowledge the impact on patients of the noise from mobile phone use and loss of confidentiality and thus provide guidance on mobile phone usage 77 ( Table 1). The situation is compounded by a general lack of knowledge amongst medical staff regarding data security 76 and consent.…”

Mobile communication technologies are employed in many diverse areas of healthcare delivery to provide improved quality and efficiency of communication and facilitate increased rapidity of data or information transfer. Mobile phones enable healthcare professionals to possess a portable platform from which to provide many healthcare-related applications and are a popular means to directly communicate with colleagues and patients. As involvement of mobile communication technology in healthcare delivery continues to rapidly expand, there are also important considerations of relevance to patient safety and security as a result. Here, we review the previous evidence of reported clinical risks associated with mobile communication technology, such as electromagnetic interference, confidentiality and data security, distraction/noise, infection control, and cross contamination. In conclusion, although mobile phones provide much putative potential improvement to healthcare delivery, further evaluation and research are required to both inform and protect health professionals and users of such technology in the healthcare environment and provide the evidence base to support the provision of clear and comprehensive guidelines.

“…That was similar to our results, as well as the results from other studies. [20][21][22] The lower mean age among those who do not use the smartphone can be explained by the expressive number of students in the nonuser group. That could be related to the lack of knowledge on the advantages of its use.…”

“…Si les pharmaciens utilisent encore actuellement des pagers traditionnels (c'est-à-dire affichage d'un message numérique avec alarme sonore), l'établisse-ment envisage le remplacement de ces dispositifs par des téléphones intelligents. Dans une enquête auprès de 60 médecins d'un hôpital irlandais, Haroon et al [11] ont démontré que le téléphone mobile était plus efficace que les pagers. Wu et al [12] ont évalué l'utilisation des téléphones intelligents pour améliorer la communication du service de médecine interne d'un hôpital de Toronto.…”
