Abstract

Handheld devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs) have found many uses in health care settings, in such areas as clinical practice, medical education, documentation, and research. For three years in a row, PDAs were distributed to pediatric residents to use as tools to support their clinical practice and training in a large pediatric residency program at an urban pediatric teaching hospital. A study was conducted to examine their patterns of use and needs for the tool. The results provided information that could help pediatric educators, librarians, and administrators in their future plan for the acquisition of PDAs and PDA-related application tools and resources, PDA training interventions, and provison of technical support.
