Some thing I come across on my twitter feed via iMedical AppsAre Smartphones Distracting Doctors?http://www.imedicalapps.com/2012/04/smartphones-distracting-doctors/ I seen and come across a number of times where iPad and smartphone have help in clinical roles iPad used to explain procedures and what wrong with a patient Smartphones helping doctors etal find the information they need quickly Hospital guidelines etc that form part or all of an app Satnav and apps built into smartphone that stop people getting lost in big hospitals iPad and iPhone able to look at x-rays and share that information as well Paperless proscription issue etc but some times I think it is the technology that get in the way of patient care... due to being to hard to use not working how it should ICT department too many thing to do at once too little time Mark |

I do not think so! We can use the technical advances wisely instead of being distracted by the unethical features. Smartphones can be of immense value to us & are equivalent to the advanced fourth generation computing features like telemedicine, VOIP, online consultation, immediate availability of solution to any healthcare problem, even on the move! |
