Dr. Rubin makes the maximum use of his EO by being able to have the ability to have his patient records with him at all time. In addition, he also responds to emergency calls as needed. By maintaining a synchronized copy of his EMR (electronic medical records) with him, he is able to look up patient information in the matter of a couple minutes, the time it takes to boot the computer if it is not currently running. By having his records available and up to date, he can view all past notes, current medications, etc. relative to the patient chart and avoid creating needless errors.

I was able to catch up for a brief moment today with him as he stopped in the office in between hospital visits. He uses 3 methods of input with the EO, inking, a keyboard when needed, and also uses voice recognition.

One of the real benefits of using the UMPC is the size. The UMPC has proven to be much more useful and portable than a full size unit, and yet offers all the same features as found on a larger tablet. Mobility has really paid off for Dr. Rubin. The EO UMPC travels with him at all times and is his constant electronic companion in the pursuit of better health care and I am glad we were able to provide the UMPC to help him with this mission.
