Abstract
The LynxIT Mobile System (LMS) provides efficient and economical communications solutions for healthcare professionals. The LMS provides physician to physician communication through mobile smartphone platforms, and rules, including role based rules that prevent unauthorized communications between users. The LMS interfaces with a paging system that provides paging services to the facilities, healthcare professionals, including physicians. The LMS and paging system may interface with staff directories and on-call schedules for hospitals and healthcare facilities accessible through a network. The LMS uses a staff directory and on-call schedule request service that communicates a request to accessible staff directories and on-call schedules for hospitals, healthcare professionals, and other healthcare facilities. The LMS and SPS ingest the directories returned from the request. In this way, physicians control communications between themselves and other healthcare professionals, and create private communications channels based on physician defined rules.
