Hospital Computers


This is going to be dope, truly the future of healthcare in which the doctor/patient relationship is increased & errors decrease, all while simultaneously decreasing documentation time and converging tasks, software, hardware, and patient management protocols. Then all we need is a national healthcare system to support consolidation and synergistic medical record keeping, payment systems, and coverage options. Thats all i'm asking Santa Claus for Christmas this year.

Check out the motioncomputing MDA (Mobile Clinical Assistant)

There are some cool videos and specks here

Some of the specs (thanks omeed)

-It's a Tablet PC, so it lets you take notes
-takes pictures with a digital camera
-has an RFID (radio frequency) scanner for quick ID
-has a barcode scanner for scanning patients, Care-providers, and their meds (reduced medication erros by 30% in four weeks in one trial)
-has wifi access to the hospital database resulting in real-time access and less paperwork (doctors can order tests, make referrals, and see test results instantly
-unlike a normal tablet pc, it can actually be disinfected and maybe even dropped a few times
