Abstract
We have discussed the best way for hospital nurse in order to replace hospital computer system on next March 1. On demand from the general risk manager, confirmation of the patient at each medication or treatment at bedside is required. Apple iPod touch is one of the candidates for suitable low cost device. The popular operability of iOS will reduce time to master, patient barcode id can read constantly and bedside clinical pictures be taken by intrinsic camera. Tablet device was pointed out that bedside action to the patient may break it between the bed frame and nurse body. Consequently the iPod touch is considered as effective device for nurses.
