"It's all about the system…"
by Greg Davidson, Senior Business Development Manager for Healthcare
All too often, healthcare organizations view electronic medical record (EMR) implementation as a series of linear steps: choose a software package, reflect on networking, then consider hardware for end users and maybe look into training after deployment. More often than not, those organizations are disappointed in the results of their investment.

Toughbook® Helps Medical Relief Efforts in Haiti
Within 48 hours of last week’s earthquake in Haiti, two 747s arrived in Port-au-Prince from Israel bringing a model medical disaster response solution. On the grounds of an abandoned steel factory, a temporary field hospital – equipped with electronic medical records, digital radiology, an operating room, ICU and neonatal intensive care – was set up to assist victims of the quake. NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams said that the Israeli medical team was using the best field medicine available. The report shows the Panasonic Toughbook H1 being used as part of Israels' disaster response solution.

That’s not the case for San Francisco Bay Area entertainer Llesta T, who freestyles about his love for Toughbook. What’s his motivation? Maybe it is the daylight viewable touchscreen, the mobile broadband ready design, or the MIL-STD-810G certification. Whatever the case, this charming video had us at “tough.”
