Handheld devices are becoming critical tools for some doctors and nurses
Most of the doctors who use handheld devices such as personal
digital assistants and mobile phones rely on them for routine
administrative jobs like managing appointments. But a growing number of
physicians, like Dr. Kray, have discovered that these devices can also
be powerful aids in patient care. Doctors can check a patient's medical
history and insurance coverage, call up the Internet to hunt down
information about a condition, and send prescriptions to a pharmacy --
all from the exam room. Home health-care nurses, meanwhile, can use
cameras built into mobile phones to take pictures of a patient's wounds
and email them to the hospital for analysis.
Although
desktop computers could do many of the same jobs, PDAs are a much
better fit for doctors who must make rounds in hospitals or travel
between multiple exam rooms. Even doctors who treat patients in just
one office often prefer a PDA to a PC, since they can use it while
maintaining eye contact with the patients.
