John D. Halamka, MD and CIO at Boston’s Beth Israel Deaconness Medical Center, turned his blog over to Dr. Larry Nathanson so Nathanson, who leads BIDMC’s Emergency Medicine Informatics initiative could record his initial experience in using a fresh-from-the-box Apple Inc. iPad in the emergency room.
Nathanson’s first impressions are pretty positive. “I had been anxiously awaiting the arrival of my iPad – This is the form factor I have been asking (begging) of all the vendors for years. I’m very happy to say that it appears to be living up to my high expectations,” he writes.
He notes that the only drawback was that so many people “gawked” at the iPad that his own efficiency suffered.
