Less Paperwork: Save Time, and Paper Too

Endless paperwork kills practice efficiency, not to mention many trees in the world. Why collect data throughout the day and spend the early evening re-entering it or completing it with clicks in pull down menus? Imagine the extra minutes, hours, and days for your patients if you could enter data quickly only once as you go.

With a Tablet PC, you carry your "in and out basket" with you everywhere you go. Patient files, office communications and scheduling can all be entered, updated and stored from anywhere you are.

Add in wireless capabilities and the data you enter is data co-workers can access immediately. Fewer mistakes. Less bureaucracy. Less delay. And more time to do the part of the job you love.

Why Compromise with a laptop computer?

The Mobile Computing market now includes thousands of products from a wide range of vendors. For discussion purposes, portable computers can be grouped into three primary categories: Tablet PCs, laptop/notebook computers, and personal digital assistants (PDAs). Each category is designed to fill a specific need.

For example, PDAs serve as digital replacements for paper calendars, planners, reminder notepads, and address books. Their low performance prevents them from being a successful equivalent of a desktop computer. In fact, these products use non-standard operating systems, software, and processors to provide highly specialized capabilities in a pocket form factor.

On the other hand, laptops or notebook computers are designed to enable portability of desktop computing resources from one site to another. They always require placement on a stable, level surface in order to type: a desktop, lap, or airline tray table. Laptop computers are merely portable desktop computers—they aren't truly mobile.

Tablet PCs have it all

Tablet PCs are designed to deliver the same computing capability as a laptop or notebook, but in a form-factor for true working mobility on the job. Designed to be held in one hand and used with the other, Tablets are mobile extensions of desktop computing resources.

Tablet PCs fill a specific set of customer needs for organizations looking to streamline business processes with "working mobility." They are best suited for situations which demand "on-the-spot," instantaneous decision-support in a form-factor compatible with standing and walking. Such customers demand a standards-based computer with a high-performance processor, robust graphics, sophisticated integration and communication with enterprise systems, long battery life, and high data throughput. These computers must also be easy to use, light and small—all without the need for a keyboard.

Comparison: Tablet PCs vs. Laptop Computers

• Tablet computing allows mobile workers to use a computer as natural as pen and paper.
• Tablet computers do not require keyboards.
• There is no need to set Tablets down, unlike a laptop computer. Laptops were never designed to be used as handheld devices.
• Handwriting recognition recognizes words, numbers, and symbols. Input is translated into text in the same manner as typed data.
• Users can use use their unique writing style.
• Tablet PCs can capture digital signatures. Signature recognition is used for security verification and authorization.
• Tablet computers integrate with bar-code readers for identification in places laptops would be awkward.
• Tablet computers with wireless communication connect mobile users to centralized data sources.
• Tablet computers are designed for longer battery life than laptops.
• Tablet computers are gasket sealed. They clean easily, necessary in vertical markets like healthcare.
• Tablet computer failure rate is much lower than laptops (5% versus 28%).
• ...the list goes on!
