Personal digital assistants: making the most use of them in clinical practice

Citation: e.g. Brown, C. 2008 Feb 21. Article title. Mobile medical computing reviews. [Online] 2:1

Abstract: The first sentence should summarise the clinical question that the review addresses e.g. "Are PDAs better than pen and paper for recording patient-reported outcomes in clinical research?". The second sentence should accurately state the results, e.g. "PDAs were found to have better compliance and fewer errors in most of the nine studies.". The final sentence should tell the learning points, with any relevant caveats, e.g. "All studies reported technical difficulties with the PDAs". You must stick to these three sentences and use fewer than 150 words. For everything you write do _not_copy entire sentences - you must rephrase it (for copyright reasons) and summarize it (to save the reader time).

E.g. for this paper, write "Included randomized trials or systematic reviews of randomized trials: extracted relevant data; included intervention group that used a handheld EMR and a control group that was either a desktop EMR or the paper chart; users of the handheld EMR were clinicians; and the outcomes had to be relevant to clinical care.".

Technologies

List all the hardware and software covered in the review, on both PDAs and PCs. If able, please include clickable URL hotlinks - not necessary for broad ideas such as "Palm" or "PocketPC" but Joe-Bob's Data Analysis Package might be good, also If version numbers are given, include them too. E.g. "Pocket PCs with Epocrates", "Server software designed with Satellite Forms", etc.

Outcome

HIGHLIGHTS: key findings of the study.

IMPLICATIONS: application of results to patient care. Examples of this include a decrease in errors, improved review of information, improved ordering of medications or tests, improved documentation or improved satisfaction.

GENERALIZABILITY: of literature retrieved (or were they niche-specific) e.g. "This meta-analysis is generalizable to other technologies or disabilities."

CONSISTENCY: of research articles (homogeneous or heterogeneous findings).

Further areas for research
