Rapid integration of information technology into health care systems has included the use of highly portable systems-in particular, personal digital assistants (PDAs). With their large built-in memories, fast processors, wireless connectivity, multimedia capacity, and large library of applications, PDAs have been widely adopted by physicians and nurses for patient tracking, disease management, medical references and drug information, enhancing a quality of health care. Many health-related PDA applications are available to both dietetics professionals and clients. Dietetics professionals can effectively use PDAs for client tracking and support, accessing to hospital database or information, and providing better self-monitoring tools to clients. Internship programs for dietetics professionals should include training in the use of PDAs and their dietetics applications, so that new practitioners can stay abreast of this rapidly evolving technology. Several considerations to keep in mind in selecting a PDA and its applications are discussed.
信息技术在医疗保健系统中的快速融合包括了高度便携系统的使用，尤其是个人数字助理（PDA）。PDA 具有大容量内置存储器、快速处理器、无线连接、多媒体功能和丰富的应用程序库，因此被医生和护士广泛用于患者跟踪、疾病管理、医学参考和药物信息，提高了医疗保健质量。许多与健康相关的 PDA 应用程序可供营养专业人员和客户使用。营养专业人员可以有效地使用 PDA 来跟踪和支持客户，访问医院数据库或信息，并为客户提供更好的自我监测工具。营养专业人员的实习计划应包括 PDA 和其营养应用程序使用方面的培训，以便新的从业者能够跟上这一快速发展的技术。在选择 PDA 和其应用程序时，需要考虑几个因素。
