Mobile Health Library™ Partnership Brings Needed Patient Support Services to Oncology Nurses at Point-of-Care

DOYLESTOWN, Pa., Nov. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- ONS:Edge, a leading medical communications company dedicated to the transfer of cancer knowledge to oncology nurses to improve patient outcomes, has joined the Mobile Health Library^TM (MHL) clinical engagement system to provide app-based tools to support more than 30,000 oncology nurses using its web portal, www.onsedge.com.

"Our 2013 survey of oncology nurses revealed a need for point-of-care smartphone and tablet app resources that help patients better adhere to their prescribed treatment regimens," remarked Pamela Oestreicher, PhD, of ONS:Edge. The MHL system allows ONS:Edge to support its pharmaceutical and medical device clients' needs with HIPAA-secure mobile engagement services that promote medication and medical device safe-use, medication adherence, disease understanding, and health outcomes attainment, all through the simplicity of a single app interface for doctors, nurses, and patients.

"Our special relationship with ONS:Edge brings a clinical advantage to the design and deployment of app-based solutions that support oncology nurses, especially those designed to increase medication adherence and medication safe-use for cancer patients and their caregivers," said Rob Dhoble, CEO of Adherent Health, LLC, licensor of the Mobile Health Library system.

"Safe use of medication by patients has become a rallying cry for industry," added Peter Pitts, former FDA Associate Commissioner and Chief Regulatory Officer of Adherent Health.  "With the MHL system, medication adherence and medication safe-use resources can be accessed and delivered more simply, through mobile apps that support nurses in their delivery of patient care," added Pitts.

The ONS:Edge Oncology Nurse Resource Center for healthcare professionals is now available in Mobile Health Library, a free app in the iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon app stores.
