I don't have specific experience with medical software, but I've had a
few PDA's. And my doctor uses a PDA to look up various references and
also to write scripts (they print out via WiFi on a printer at the
nurse's desk). I believe his was a PalmOS PDA last I checked. I used
to prefer Palm but I've come to love my PocketPC 2003 PDA. There is
lots of medical software available to install on PDA's. PocketPC (or
Windows Mobile I think they call the current version) is a bit more
flexible and has more software available for it. PalmOS used to rule
but has languished in the last few years and lost a lot of marketshare.

My mother has asked me about buying a PDA. She is an RN and wants to
use it as a quick reference device for types of prescription
medication, dosages, combinations etc. This is really off topic for
this list, but I'm curious if anyone on this list is in the medical
profession and has a PDA used for this purpose, or if they have seen
one used for this purpose and if they know anything about it. I know
next to nothing about PDAs, so any information would be helpful. I'm
assuming that either there would be a PDA specifically designed for
this function, or there would be specific software to load on the PDA
that could be used to store this information. I haven't done a google
search yet because I was hoping that someone here might have personal
experience with it (different software packages, which one is better
(read: easier to use), more inexpensive, etc.), if not, I'm off to
search the web.
Thanks in advance.
