Engineered for the Medical Professional The Toughbook H1 is based on Panasonic’s innovative engineering, resulting from its own proprietary global healthcare industry research and Intel’s mobile clinical assistant (MCA) reference design. The company visited clinicians around the world to solicit feedback for the product. The resulting device improves workflow and eases clinical loads for doctors and nurses, allowing them to access patient records at the point of care and document a patient's condition in real time. The workflow advantages offered by the H1 can help healthcare organizations maximize efficiency, which is critical as the market faces an aging population, increased demand for healthcare services and a shortage of nurses.
If you want to learn more about the device, the company posted a series of YouTube videos: Official H1 Video, H1 Product Overview, H1 Cleaning, H1 Drop Test.

For those who imagined doctors talking with patients while writing on notebook-size slate tablets resting on their laps, their predictions have fallen short. Part of the reason is that computerization has advanced more slowly in medicine than in other industries. Another factor is that many of the doctors who use computers do so by sitting at a desk and typing on a keyboard and looking at a screen instead of looking at the patient.

Maybe there is something top level management can learn from tech savvy clinicians too. We all know as patients that we like it so perhaps it’s time for technology to come full circle and we all learn from each other here. Wouldn’t it be nice to see the CEO embracing some of this, as I’m sure those minutes from meetings would be a whole lot easier to put together with a little speech recognition too instead of the scribbles from yellow paper pads that need additional human time to re-write and process.

They worried it would slow them down." The vendor left a tablet PC loaded with the system at the group's disposal. The soft sell worked. "I was happy with it after two hours, so that was a good sign," Pidwell says.
