Handhelds in Medicine: A Practical Guide for Clinicians
Handhelds in Medicine is an essential reference for all physicians, especially those in the primary care specialties. In order to access and process clinical information in the shortest amount of time, the physician must be able to interact with a variety of electronic databases efficiently during a standard office visit. Nothing enables this as effectively as a PDA. Handheld computers allow the physician to take a history, perform a physical examination, access patient records, arrive at a diagnosis, prescribe a treatment plan, and manage billing and coding, all without leaving the patient's side. Depending on the physician's comfort level with technology, this can be an exhausting and intimidating process. This book and CD-ROM set operates as a concise guide to enable any physician or healthcare professional to implement handheld computers in their practice.
