title: An enterprise look at mHealth.
abstract: The theme of this year's annual American Society for Healthcare Risk Management conference is Getting to Zero™: the Power of One™. The widespread use of mHealth exemplifies the power of one. The power of one user to apply technology to change the way healthcare is delivered at the bedside, in the provider's office, and in the patient's home. The power of one organization to provide technology that ensures provider access to clinical information to improve decision making, facilitate access to clinical information, and provide new ways to partner with patients - wherever they may be. This article provides an overview of the current status of mHealth and describes risk management strategies appropriate for organizations of all sizes and complexities.
