This may also depend on the type of software that you use for your EMR. Some software can handle the tablet and wireless better. I just don't see as many advantages. I do think Biometrics is the way to go. I have talked about it http://www.crashutah.com/emr/adminis...rprint-logins/ before.

In the end all of our nurses, apns, doctors all use tablets, but most of them have them docked and are using them like a workstation.
