Using Surface applications as an extension of a larger system, as opposed to being used in isolation, is central to the work I'm doing at CSG.The idea is that surface is one of many "channels" through which clients, customers, patients or whatever, can access and manipulate their own personal information as well as collaborate with subject matter experts.
An excellent example of this kind of application is the integration of HealthVault and Amalga with Surface. HealthVault and Amalga are patient medical records systems designed to be accessible by both doctors at clinics and patients from home.
This video shows how a doctor can use the surface for a consultation with a patient and how the patient can review their own medical results and data, including information provided by the doctor during the consultation, later at home. It's a very powerful use of Surface in the larger context of a multi-channel solution and one has enormous potential across industries. Thanks to TheHealthCareBlog.com for this story.
