More Tale of the tablets Health Data Management Share ![]() ![]() ![]()
When Apple introduced the iPad in January 2010, Steve Jobs called the touch-screen tablet "magical and revolutionary." At least as far as healthcare is concerned, Jobs' hyperbole may have an inkling of truth. Healthcare professionals, particularly physicians, have quickly embraced the iPad: More than 30 percent of U.S. doctors now own one, according to research from both Manhattan Research and Chilmark Research, and sales show no signs of slowing. Manhattan Research said last year that Apple's product "continues to dominate the tablet market in healthcare," and everyone else is eating its dust. More
Majority of doctors will use iPads on the job by 2013 Cult of Mac Share ![]() ![]() ![]()
The iPad's design and capabilities have always made it intriguing option for doctors and other healthcare providers. Shortly after Apple launched the iPad two years ago, technophile doctors began bringing them into their offices and a number of hospitals began launching pilot programs centered around it. That initial burst of interest and enthusiasm hasn't slowed in the slightest according to a new report from Manhattan Research. In fact, iPad use by U.S. doctors has nearly doubled in the past year and adoption is set to continue at a meteoric rate over the next twelve months.

More The dose imperative Advance for Imaging & Radiation Oncology Share ![]() ![]() ![]()
Safety in dosing and reportable events is always at the forefront of radiology and radiation oncology departments. California is one state taking the lead when it comes to improving safety for patients. While the current version of legislation SB-1237 (effective July 12, 2012) as written is far from comprehensive and predominately ambiguous in audit and compliance measures, it will impact medical imaging operations and create some challenging workflow changes to the status quo. Attention and activity being generated in California will carry forward into the legislative halls of other states and accreditation organizations in healthcare. More
