We are trialing the HP tablets. They seem heavy, and it's kind of fiddly to swivel the screen. Hard to picture users carrying them around and then where will they set them down?
However, the writing recognition ROCKS -- it can read any old scribbles. -----Original Message----- From: Diane Wooldridge [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 3:48 PM To: Romona E. Smith; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: [MEDITECH-L] RE: EDM point & click tablets First and formost, they will only be as successful as the infrastructure that supports them. Our users say they would use the tablets at the bedside, if only they felt the rf was at a sufficient speed. They use Motion tablets and the only time they are really required to use the keyboard is when they log in. (Our experience with two tablets/slates over the year convinces me that emulated keyboards are considered an obstacle to users.) Also, they document medications in NOTES, so they need the keyboard for that as well. We're hoping that once they get the meds and eMAR issues we have fixed, the latter will go away. There are HP tablets that have a keyboard attached (the screen swivels and folds flat) that also address keyboard withdrawl issues. -----Original Message----- From: Romona E.

I know meditech is keyboard driven and am wondering if point & click tablets have been successfully (or unsuccessfully) used with EDM. I would like to give the ED options and it seems that point & click would be quick, the assessments would need to be created with point & click in mind - very little text entry. Thank you, Romona E.
