PDA Implementation
The Program Idea
Personal Data Assistants (PDA's) are hand held devices that act in a similar manner to personal computers. They provide the user with the capability of entering and tracking information in an efficient and effective manner. This is especially true in the medical industry where PDA use in the field is becoming quite commonplace. This paper presents a program idea that allows for the implementation of a training program for a local medical entity seeking to use PDA's to track bedside medical treatments, illnesses, diseases and symptoms.
A recent study determined that "patient care has become more complicated, risk prone, automated and costly" and that "efficiencies at the bedside are needed to continue to provide safe and successful treatments within this environment" (Hudson, Buell. 2011, p. 400). The study determined that one quite effective manner for doing so was through the use of PDA's to enter and track patient information. This program seeks to use the effectiveness...
Patient information will be sought and entered into hand-held PDAs and then electronically transmitted to the clinic's medical electronic system.
Stakeholders
The stakeholders for this project include; the clinic's medical personnel and staff, the patients, and the patient's families and loved ones. One unique aspect to this particular study is that the various stakeholders will all benefit from the use of PDAs.
The medical professionals that work at the clinic will benefit with more and faster access to patient information that will facilitate treatment decisions in an improved and quicker fashion. The patients (of course) will benefit as well, and the families and loved ones will feel more comfort and confidence in the clinic's medical professionals. One recent study determined that "the aging trend and the proliferation of ICAT, impose considerable…

Wireless Broadband Technology Overview of Wireless technology Presently it is quite evident to come across functioning of a sort of wireless technology in the form of mobile phone, a Palm pilot, a smart phone etc. With the inception of fast connectivity in the sphere of commerce it is customary and useful to operate from central locations communicating with the remote branches, conducting conferences in remote places, discussing with every body at every
Of course, it becomes a very difficult matter to overcome sparse levels of availability when they are encountered (e.g. In the more remote regions of Western Australia). Taken together, the issues suggest that the impact of availability policy on the use of alcohol may be as heterogeneous as patterns of availability themselves. The reduction of one outlet in an urban area has significantly different meaning and implications than the reduction
Then students use AlphaSmart software to paste the picture and explain in a paragraph why, how and where in the plot they feel that picture relates to the story. This tests three things: (a) student concentration; (b) student level of understanding of the general plot; and - student imagination. This is an important implementation because it opens the students' horizons and allows them to see the general links and

" May (2003) emphasizes the need exists for greater technological sense and knowledge for all current and future students. Consequently, this need has led to incorporation of technology in classrooms settings, as technologies aim to increase students' intensity of wisdom, cooperation and text assessment. Today, literacy reading skills prove to be vital for both normal and special-needs students, as exposure to literacy encompasses more than books. In fact, the range
Both of these devices "allow handwritten data entry including sketching with 'electronic ink' and handwriting recognition that converts scribble into typewritten text." (Wales and Zabrek, 2003) Full integration with hospital servers of these devices is required to realize the full benefits of these devices. These mobile devices "facilitate the entry of data for storage and processing at the servers. By storing hospital data on servers rather than on the mobile
