“…We regularly observe medical house staff carrying hand-held devices, or personal digital assistants (PDAs), while on rounds, consulting with other staff, or writing patient summaries and this use is similar to previous reports [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. At the time of this study, our institution's computerized hospital information systems included physician workstations, used primarily for order--entry and to access laboratory results, operative notes and other documentation.…”

“…Preliminary feedback indicates that entering evaluation data has prompted participants to improve and change their teaching profile. 38 A randomized controlled trial demonstrated comparability of the hand-held computer method to the paper-and-pencil method in obtaining survey information. 39 Handheld devices also have a role in the settings of objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE).…”

Handheld computers have become a valuable and popular tool in various fields of medicine. A systematic review of articles was undertaken to summarize the current literature regarding the use of handheld devices in medicine. A variety of articles were identified, and relevant information for various medical fields was summarized. The literature search covered general information about handheld devices, the use of these devices to access medical literature, electronic pharmacopoeias, patient tracking, medical education, research, business management, e-prescribing, patient confidentiality, and costs as well as specialty-specific uses for personal digital assistants (PDAs). The authors concluded that only a small number of articles provide evidence-based information about the use of PDAs in medicine. The majority of articles provide descriptive information, which is nevertheless of value. This article aims to increase the awareness among physicians about the potential roles for handheld computers in medicine and to encourage the further evaluation of their use.

“…The devices are being used for several purposes in the context of medical education [7] including tracking of case exposure for medical students [8] and family practice residents [9], for referencing databases of information such as pharmacopeias [10], for tracking patients on clinical services [11], and to give feedback about the quality of teaching [12].…”
