I've been asked to post all response to my email sent in reference to EDM handheld devices. ************************************************************************ **** 2/2406 For both EDM and POM House physicians (EDM if doing VR documentation, otherwise they use a COW or the Nurse Station): IBM ThinkPad - loved by me, hated by all other (so I inherited one!!) Toshiba - too heavy, too slow Acer - too heavy, too slow Panasonic Toughbook - final selection, now widely accepted. Hope this helps. If you're using VR with Dragon Naturally Speaking, I would beef up the notebook somewhat.... Alan R. Baillargeon RN, BSN Senior Clinical Analyst Information Systems (410) 620-3464 Pager (410) 378-0171 2/23/06 We have been up with EDM for two years. The only tablet we use is in the Fast Track area. Our physicians have a work area for them only. So far this is working for them. When we went Live in EDM our commitment to the physicians and the department would be any devices they needed. We have a Gateway 42 plasma which replaced the white board. We probably could do away with this since every pc has the tracker. We have found the staff and physicians work off their pc's. Our physicians do not document yet. We are waiting for 5.5 (Magic). We are working on AOM for their prescriptions.

Janet Austin [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2/24/06 We have been using laptop computers on carts which the docs can wheel into pt care areas. Looked at hand held and smaller tablets, docs wanted a full sized keyboard and larger screen. The nurses and registration also use the same devices for bedside registration and documentation. Our docs are not doing order entry full time, and do not do online documentation so many times they just return to their PC at their stations to enter orders. Hope this helps Dana Pfingstler Nursing Analyst 814 788-8682 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ 2/24/06 Hello Gloria, Although I have not implemented EDM, I have implemented an Endo product which we had evaluated and looked at tough notebooks for clinicians. Frank Abbott of Infologix was very helpful in working with us and allowed us to sample many different types to make the right decision. He also has a variety of hardware, site specific fabrication and a host of other vendors he works with for bar code scanning, readers etc. Hope that is helpful.
