Yes, indeed. That's what I suggested to my attending...that he have keyboard docks in every exam room for the tablet. That would solve the data entry problem but we would then essentially have a laptop that has a touchscreen instead of a mouse.

I'd like to try it but my attending already made up her mind against getting a tablet.

Cool. I think the touchscreen itself could probably get you there 80% of the time without being docked, so a bit different from a laptop with a touchscreen :-)

Might require thinking about the flow of an encounter, though, so that it's docked at the appropriate times. That could be a problem?
