'Study: Early literature on PDA effectiveness in hospitals is inconclusive'+
'
'+
'Courtesy of www.fiercemobilehealthcare.com
It\'s fair to say a good many hospital-based users of mobile devices believe handheld gadgets truly do improve workflow and likely have a positive impact on patient safety. But the scientific literature has been lacking.

'BlackBerry-based network streamlines home-health coordination'+
'
'+
'Assigning home health workers to patients in Canada used to take two hours, but an application for the BlackBerry has trimmed the process to 15 minutes. Instead of nurses playing phone tag with home-health agencies and then trying to find ways to communicate patient histories by phone or fax, a computer can broadcast requests to home-care nurses and therapists.

'iPhone app tracks swine flu outbreaks'+

'There are so many new healthcare-related iPhone apps sprouting up each week that we can't possibly write about all of them, but one really jumped out at us--possibly because of who's behind it, but more likely because the national media picked up on it.

'Video: OSU discusses the iPhone as medical tool.'+
'
'+
'Friday - September 4th, 2009 - 12:17pm EST by Brian Dolan
Two years ago, Ohio State University College of Medicine's Vice Dean of Education, Catherine Lucey and a fourth year medical student going into plastic surgery, Justin Harper, spearheaded the school's use of iPod Touches and iPhones as medical and learning tools on campus. In the video below, (UPDATE: which was created by CurrentMedicine.tv), Lucey and Harper discuss how the program has evolved at the school and the ways in which students apply the devices in clinical settings. As you might expect the devices are used mostly as access points for medical reference apps and sites.
Continue on for the 8 minute video that includes demos of some of the apps the students use. More...
