Hi Julie! If you would not mind, please either email me any responses that you get or post them to the list. We are implementing Nursing POC this Fall, replacing some DG handhelds as well. My concerns regarding PDA device selection include cost, reliability, durability, and security. The Dell Axim and HP PocketPC PDAs are small and inexpensive ($300-350), but I am not confident that they are manufactured and designed to withstand use in such an environment. They are certainly not very rugged, and likely will not survive a single drop. Symbol PDAs are more rugged and are designed for greater durability, but their higher cost reflects that ($1000-1500). I'd like to hear from any hospitals who are already LIVE with Nursing POC and get their feedback on the PDAs that they are using for this application. Thanks again!

We are beginning the search for a replacement for our DG Handhelds and wonder what devices are being used out there. Pros and cons welcome. Cost and durability are issues. We would like to explore wired and wireless options. Thanks.
