Those genius marketers at Apple have channeled the enthusiasm behind their consumer products into a business application -- this time, in health care. According to the Wall Street Journal, physicians love their iPads, while medical device and pharma companies are using them as sales tools. These medical companies are buying iPads by the thousands and giving them to their sales and marketing teams. Why? Physicians prefer iPads' portability, and sales reps can quickly and engagingly present their products. No more shuffling through papers, or waiting to boot up the laptop.
Which makes me wonder: are health system sales and referral development professionals embracing iPad as a new sales aid? How could the iPad enhance your sales encounters with physicians?

Great post, Susan. We are training our DNP students at Old Dominion University in the value and use of the iPad as a clinical decision support tool. We've only reached the tip of the iceberg in looking at the applications of the iPad in healthcare.
Yes, Speaking about the availability and size of the iPad is located in the middle of your Mac and iPhone.
