After 20 years of working in emergency nursing, I have begun to look for anything that saves me time or decreases the amount of information I have to remember. The handheld computer is such a tool. Although there are many types of handheld computers on the market, the "gold standard" is the Palm operating system (Palm OS) used by the Palm Pilot (Palm Inc, Santa Clara, Calif) and Handspring Visor (Handspring Inc, Mountain View, Calif) companies. These companies make various models of handheld computers, but they all work essentially the same way.
