Texas Health Resources will be using the Apple iPad to help test patients' recovery, check the status of inpatients, and share and view medical records around the hospital.
The company has a strategy called mHealth (Mobile Health), that is built around mobile devices. A recent internal survey suggests that 40 percent of the doctors in facilities are already using a tablet—usually an iPad.
Texas Health has also developed six apps to help their strategy. One reason why tablets are so useful is that they allow nurses and doctors to stay mobile and have more hands-on time with patients, instead of having to sit in front of a computer.
Instead of a pad, just carry an iPad. So simple. (With a little help from right apps)
