Fieldwork and ICT

I have just been on placement and worked on the orthopaedic ward of Tauranga hospital. The ICT used in this setting were as follows:

Email - communication.
Fax - referrals received via fax. Building quotes faxed through.
Pager - all staff carried pagers so that they could be contacted whilst on the wards.
Digital camera - taken on home visits to record house details visually.
Client notes - handwritten but summarised on computers.
Eclipse - software used by all OT's to input hours worked against patient details.
Cell phones - used on home visits.
Internet - research
Powerpoint presentation - in-service meetings
Telephone - patient follow up calls, telephone conferences
