We have touch screen tablets/laptops on our wireless carts and the nurses do not use the pens. They prefer the mouse.
When we did our PCS training we actually had all users use the pens so they would get used to it - but after go-live they used the mouse. I think there is too many times when they have to type vs. selecting from a screen - even though we really did attempt to make most queries several/group responses. So far that is what we have found. We have tried a larger desktop PC with a touch screen that didn't require a pen - but have not pursued that at this time.

Sounds nice in the planning stages but is the mouse really what people end up with?
