PDAs, the Doctor's Latest Bedside Helper

An article in today's Newsday.com discusses a Palm project at Long Island Jewish Medical Center:

"In recent years, a rise in medical errors has led hospitals throughout the country to rethink the way medicine is practiced. Some see hand-held devices as part of the solution since they are equipped with programs that check drug interactions, spew out potential side effects, provide alternate treatment options and educate on the latest scientific advances."

More information on the Palm project at Long Island Jewish Medical Center may be found on their Web site.
