Communication and information sharing is an important aspect of healthcare information technology and mHealth management. A main requirement in the quality of patient care is the ability of all health care participants to communicate. Research illustrates that the complexity of communicating within the health care system hinders the quality of health care service delivery. Health informatics have been touted as a way to improve communication deficiencies, which has led to the exponential growth of health informatics integration. However, research still lags in understanding how health informatics affects patient care, health professional work routines, and the overall health care system. This study investigates the extent to which mHealth technologies influence communication information sharing patterns between interdisciplinary health care providers in the delivery of health care services. This study was conducted at Hamilton Health Sciences and through a sociotechnical approach, focuses on both the end user’s experiences with mHealth in daily work communication scenarios, and the extent to which mHealth use affects interdisciplinary communication. Results indicate that there are several mitigating factors which influence communication patterns using mHealth technologies, including: information sharing, mobility, ergonomic and system design.

The increase in the number of patients with pathology of the maxillofacial region necessitates improving the quality of medical care provided to the population in the field of "Maxillofacial surgery". Anatomical and physiological features of the maxillofacial region, the prevalence of pathology determine the implementation of organizational measures, the involvement of narrow specialists, the need for medical organizations in modern material and technical equipment. The indicators of medical care mainly depend on a full-fledged diagnosis, and are also determined by the availability, quality and speed of specialized medical care. In modern conditions of the development of the health care system, an integrated approach to the organization, the introduction of new methods of providing medical care and rehabilitation of patients is required. Optimization of the maxillofacial surgery service within a multidisciplinary medical organization, the introduction and development of an outpatient polyclinic link, the training of highly qualified personnel contribute to improving the quality of diagnosis, treatment and timely detection of pathology. This article presents the results of optimizing the service for providing medical care to patients with pathology of the maxillofacial region. In the Penza region, the full-fledged, high-quality functioning of the service is realized through the organization of the Center for Maxillofacial Surgery on the basis of the State Budgetary Healthcare Institution «Penza Regional Clinical Hospital named after N.N. Burdenko». The structure of the Center for Maxillofacial Surgery ensures the continuity and complementarity of specialists of a medical organization in the treatment and diagnostic process. Optimal conditions have been created for the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients with pathology of the maxillofacial region, in order to provide the population with affordable and high-quality medical care, regardless of the category of citizens. The creation of the Center for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery contributes to an increase in the structural efficiency and medical efficiency of the health care system of the Penza region. The results of the measures and innovations carried out can be used to eliminate the existing shortcomings in the organization of medical care for patients with pathology of the maxillofacial region in other regions.
