Research Abstract	Business smart phones or BSP are expected to be used in clinical situations. We tried to implement them on an existing hospital information system and examined issues relating to accessing patient information with them. Two kinds of platform for accessing patient information were provided. One is a web-based patient information system and another is a virtual desktop infrastructure. Medical provider tested the operability using various type of BSPs on each platform. We discussed and identified several issues such as necessity of strict application of MDM, MAM, and MCM (Mobile Device / Application / Contents Management) for security and privacy protection, and improvement of the user interface for touch operation input devices.
