When I read this story I couldn't help but think back to the post from Dr. Crounse at Microsoft about the plumber who showed up with a tablet, ready to take care of business...quotes from the article below....if the plumber can be mobile, why not the physician? I can't tell you how much I appreciated the tablet at the HIMMS convention...as well as myself, the tablet went to work allowing me to take notes and identify potential clients and relative information almost instantly, thus getting right to the point and not wasting any time for the exhibitors as well...BD
In fact, I also show a photo that was sent to me not long ago by a colleague who needed his toilet fixed. He said the plumber arrived at his home in a GPS enabled van and carried a Tablet PC into his home. He used the PC to order parts, document his work and present an electronic invoice. My colleague who sent me the picture asked, "Why isn't healthcare more like this?"
When these folks come to your home and office, you don’t currently see many of them carrying computing devices. Sure, nearly all of them carry cell phones — sometimes multiple cell phones — but when they’re done most of them still whip out a clipboard and a three-ply form that you have to press really hard to sign so that your signature comes clear on all three sheets.
