I always enjoy reading about Pocket PC solutions deployed in real life. This article published on deVBuzz.com describes the business case, design, development and deployment of a Pocket PC healthcare solution. Very interesting read!
"Geoff Lawton, Director of Pharmacy Services at the Medical Center of Aurora, Colorado, saw the potential for handhelds to reduce the paper burden in the Pharmacy department of the 350-bed acute care hospital. He is emphatically not a programmer - his background is in pharmacy, along with an MBA. However, despite his lack of development experience, he was able to use a software productivity tool called Visual CE to create valuable applications that are in constant use by the 45-person Pharmacy department. As far as Lawton is concerned, there's no turning back. "Why would you ever want to use paper? Anything that you do on a paper form is much easier on a handheld computer using point and click technology. The more you use it, the more opportunities you find.""
Great story, but I am starting to work up a concern: what's up with the user interface of most Visual CE applications!? :roll:
