An article on physicians using iPhones and iPads during daily clinical work appeared today in Crain’s New York, written by Judy Messina. I am mentioned in the middle part.
At the end is a quick quote on the long-running move to use cell phones as the primary mode of physician communication instead of one-way pagers. This is how my daily practice works today.
“In the old days, if you had to get in touch with house staff, the only way was to page them,” said Dr. Austrian, who is part of an NYU Langone pilot that is testing the use of cellphones as a replacement for pagers. “You had to stop what you were doing and find the nearest phone and respond to the page. That was completely distracting.”
