The primary goal is to find out how to support nurses during the transfer of the patients from and to the radiology department by the use of mobile devices (e.g. PDA´s). Currently, Siemens provides a system which is running on personal computers. The basic element is a work list. The endusers can apply various actions to the work list, including commands in order to get more detailed information and for marking an action as completed. An automatic update of the lists must also be possible to ensure that the nurses can always see when and where the next patient is waiting. On the PDA the nurses can also use filters to get the appropriate list for their work. The technical requirement is that the system can be used on a wide variety of available devices. Subsequently, the system has to be hardware and operation system independent; the decision for Java was therefore obvious. The graphical user interface supports customization of colors and texts in order to be multilingual. For the mobile application the already available servers can be used.
