mt229431 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I'm about to purchase an iPad, and am trying to determine if I should spend the extra and get the cellular model, or stick with a wifi model. I'll mainly be using it in a lecture theaters, which I know have wifi access, and hospitals. I am hoping that someone can provide some insight into whether or not hospitals generally have wifi access or not, specifically for physicians using iPads to track patient care, records, etc (maybe a VPN is used, I have no idea). So if you are a med student, nurse, physician, or other hospital employee, maybe you could provide some insight and/or a recommendation! Thanks!

Thanks! we were able to get wifi for our devices, not all centres do, generally you don't have access patient data on them without a hospital program for such and then they manage that. Easy enough to ask about - but in generally you cannot just bring in a iPad and start access things - there are a lot of security issues. Oh the cellular ones have GPS I believe - that is separately useful for things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
