January 27th was the public debut of the Apple iPad, and what a debut it was! I don’t know how many of you follow Apple and their products, but let me tell you………this little beauty is going to be a game changer in so many ways! one thing I kept thinking of as I was watching the video of the press event was how it could impact health care. Imagine having something about the size of a clipboard chart that gives you real time updates of labs and other information, lets you add care note, do your assessment, etc., can let you see and show the patient their x-rays, and even check the status of other patient’s — all right at the bedside — wirelessly!!! Look for this type of device to come to bedside patient care sooner than later…….I’d bet anybody on that.
And coming on the heals of that, I plan to review a few nursing/medical/patient care related apps on the next show. Have any that YOU like to use? let me know what they are and I may include them in the show!
Also, work continues on offering live, online courses for things like ACLS prep, PALS prep, etc. Look for more definitive information within the next month or so.
