Handheld computers for
               informationists
●
    Introductions
●
    Mobile computers
●
    Individual usage
●
    Team usage
●
    NIH issues
    –   NIH HUG resources
    –   Blackberry
    –   offline vs online
●
    Q&A
What is a mobile computer?
     ●
         Ultramobile
         –   Handheld computer
         –   Smartphone
     ●
         Advantages
         –   portable
         –   battery life
         –   always on
         –   easy sharing
     ●
         Recommend Palm or Pocket PC
Why it is here to stay
●
    Handheld computers become smartphones, and
    every clinician is already carrying a phone
    –   Aziz et al (PMID 16109177) gave smartphones to
        surgeons and improved responsiveness to nurses
●
    No charge left behind
    –   Moulton et al (PMID 16385275) gave handheld
        computers to trauma surgeons and increases
        charge capture
Personal information
●
    Simple organizer software can make a big
    difference
●
    Teach the advantages of
    –   synchronization with secretary’s PC
    –   beaming to colleagues
    –   the more they write the more they retrieve
Evidence-based medicine
●
    Most references are equivalent, so recommend
    the NIH-HUG resources
    –   MD Consult:
         ●
             create a personal account then a POCKETConsult account
         ●
             mainly news but also drug reference
    –   Facts and Comparisons
         ●
             AtoZ Drug Facts offline
    –   Natural Standard
         ●
             evidence-based information about complementary and
             alternative therapies.
    –   MICROMEDEX
Local knowledge
●
    Using local reference information is a big and
    important part of daily workflow
●
    Source: Word, PDF, HTML
●
    Read: RepliGo, Plucker
●
    Great teams beam great amounts
Blackberry devices
●
    HHS mandate but can get round this
●
    Great for communication and / or bureaucracy
●
    Limited clinical usage including clinical
    software, PDFs, web pages and beaming
Online vs offline
            ●
                WiFi is desirable but
                NIH CIT makes it too
                difficult

            ●
                Even when online,
                webpages are often
                ill-suited for small
                screens

            ●
                So offline is default
                workflow
Q&A
