We also are going to pilot the C5 device. We have been 'told' that availability will not be an issue. We will not by using the voice recorder and we do not like the scanner on the device. We plan on putting docking stations in the patient rooms with attached scanners.

We're hoping the C5's will be easier to handle as well as multi-functional (they include a bar code reader, voice recorder, etc.). Our only concern is availability of the devices given that they're very new and apparently very popular. You might check with Motion Computing based in Austin, Texas.

We have struggled with what type of computer device to use. We did several simulation sessions having the users use stationary devices in the rooms and laptops on wheels. The users found that having the device in the room was easier since they did not have to search for a laptop. Now we struggle with retrofitting stationary computers in every patient room. We are interested in looking at tablets. For those facilities that use tablets with scanners how many docking stations do you use, are they convenient to the patient rooms or centrally located. Any other feedback on the use of the tablets? -----Original Message----- From: Pat Sciarini [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2007 4:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: [CARING:11685] Re: tablet PCs with bar code reader We opted not to go that route, because of the added bulk of the barcode reader to the tablet, especially if it was wired. Staff would have more "stuff" to carry into the pt room. We have carts with wired barcode readers that staff is satisfied with. Some of our physicians are trying the Motion tablet and the HP tablet PC. No preferences so far, both are working as expected.
