Thats not the same thing.

There is a difference between physicians loving the DEVICE and it being the right platform for a hospital.

Trust me I know. I design hospitals and health systems.

I love the iPad - but if you think that giving 30% of your margin and 100% of control to apple is the right idea - then you're wrong.

Sure, there are a ton of one-off single use apps for iOS and most of them are fantastic - but there are inhernet flaws with the use of iOS as a platform in a facility.

For small practice, it totally makes sense - but not yet completely in a hospital.

Except, physicians dont care about where the money goes - thus, we will see a shift to apple - but I still maintain that it is wrong.

iOS will NOT lower costs in the broken US health system -- it will continue the greed and health costs will not come down.

It is a far more complex issue than measuring your fucking blood pressure or tracking how many times you worked out on your little iphone.

> Trust me I know. I design hospitals and health systems.

I doubt that would encourage more trust in you.

Im one of the people trying to fix this shit, not one who has made the current mess....

Good for you - the healthcare system (worldwide) needs more objective people like yourself. Good luck!

Why can't a hospital (a business) use enterprise deployment mechanisms for its core business deployments of iDevices? Rather than going through the "normal" AppStore?
