Many doctors see the general advantage of having a palmtop computer, but have a difficult time integrating one into their daily activities. It's yet another thing they have to spend time learning, and the mostly general applications that come with the computer don't appear to be immediately useful in a clinical setting. Here are some of the ways I discovered to use the 95LX's built-in applications to make daily clinical practice a little easier.

Effortless Scheduling with APPT

Use MEMO for Editing Correspondence and Referencing Patient Data

PHONE Keeps Addresses and Lab Test Information

Lotus 123 for Doctors

Using Solve in HP CALC

DataComm to Link with the Office
