Hospitals pick hi-tech clipboard featured on the BBC News website.
It makes no mention of doing bedside searches for information, or allowing clinicians to post their clinical questions – but that’s not to say it can’t handle it. I have a few concerns:
-
Infection control – sure you can disinfect it, but clinicians can wash their hands between patients – do they?
-
Security (1) – very tempting for thieves
-
Security (2) – will it make it easier for people to access files via hacking wi-fi, ‘borrowing’ theclipboard etc.
But overall, it seems an exciting development!
