One of my doctors is part of a very large group. Every member of the medical staff carries around a wireless "clipboard" .. it is really just a laptop designed to be held and used like a clipboard, or an 8x10 PDA. The entire office is digital. No paper charts or records of any kind (except archives). It's a very cool set up. It's WindowsXP. Full internet access, too.
If medical staff wanted an application they could access from any modern computer, then Flash would make a good deal of sense. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Howard Owens Internet Operations Cordinator Ventura County Star / E.W.
