PDAs in Clinical Research

PDA Cortex has an article written by Donna Fowler, RN, BSN, CCRC which describes how she uses PDAs to help organize her clinical research. "I found that 24 hours was not enough hours in the day to accomplish the many tasks that I acquired when I joined a new research group", said Donna. "There were too many tasks, appointments, and too many places I needed to be each day that it became overwhelming. Nursing had taught me to multitask and how to prioritize, but previously I had had support staff to assist in organizing and keeping up with the multitude of projects. Here is the story of how we implemented the use of PDAs to assist research coordinators in the multiple projects involved at a private research site, and how we utilized PDAs to transfer information and keep physicians up to date and informed about the current and ongoing research projects."
