Integrating Computers and Handheld Devices at the Point of Care: What Stage are You At?
| Stage | Your Attitude |
| Precontemplation | I am not interested in incorporating computers or handheld devices at the point of care. |
| Contemplation | I get how they might be useful, but I wouldn't know how to go about incorporating computers or handheld devices at the point of care. |
| Preparation | I'm going for it. Over the next month I'm going to learn how to take advantage of how computers and handheld devices can improve my patient care. |
| Action | I've set-up my desktop, figured out how to connect to the internet, fully charged and configured my handheld and am ready to begin using these tools at the point of care. |
| Maintenance | I'm using computers, handhelds, and the internet at the point of care and am interested in improving my efficiency and expanding my skills. |
