Learn about handhelds
Handhelds are computers small enough to hold in your hand. So they're small enough to carry on your ward round, small enough to carry into theatre, and small enough to use in the audit meeting. Yet they're powerful. That's powerful enough to store your patients' details, powerful enough to write your operation notes on, and powerful enough to play games on. Audit meetings never looked so interesting.
