This article describes techniques and strategies used to judge the potential applicability of new information management technologies in the clinical setting and to develop specific design recommendations for new features and services. We focus on a project carried out to identify the potential uses of handheld computers (i.e., the Palm Pilot or a small WinCE-based device) in the ambulatory practice setting. We found that the potential for a robust handheld computing device to positively affect the outpatient ambulatory clinical setting is enormous, and that the information derived from the exploratory research project is useful in creating specific design recommendations for further development.
本文介绍了用于判断新信息管理技术在临床环境中潜在适用性的技术和策略，并为新功能和服务制定具体的设计建议。我们重点关注一个旨在确定手持计算机（即掌上电脑或小型基于Windows CE的设备）在门诊实践环境中的潜在用途的项目。我们发现，强大的手持计算设备对门诊临床环境产生积极影响的潜力巨大，并且从探索性研究项目中获得的信息有助于为进一步开发创建具体的设计建议。
