Surfing blogs is a bit like a conversation between two good female friends over a glass of wine: the thread links along related topics and tangents. And so it was that I found this great blog entry about a doctor in Southern California who uses a TabletKiosk eo UMPC so that he can have patient medical details on hand where ever he is. The Medical Quak blog met with Dr Jack Rubin in February this year to find out how the use of the ultra portable device has impacted his work. "By having his records with him he can also easily generate information from the patient chart to be used for admitting and consultations, thus providing a complete medical history of the patient chart. By having the ability to provide this information, sometimes this can and does lead to not having to order additional tests and wasting time..."
What's also fascinating is the way Dr Rubin uses the TabletKiosk eo: "He uses 3 methods of input with the EO, inking, a keyboard when needed, and also uses voice recognition. Voice recognition is very helpful for adding notes while at the hospitals as items are added immediately to the patient chart in the EMR." The TabletKiosk eo is based on VIA ultra mobile hardware design.
