  • Smartphones: Ask 4 Questions Before You Buy
    Vol. 5, No. 4 / April 2006 Smartphones: Ask 4 questions before you buy PDA/cell phone combinations let you surf the Internet, plan your schedule, and more. Which models are right for your practice? Richard A. Montgomery, MD Private practice, Sage Health Care, Boise, ID ‘Smartphones,’ hybrid cell phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs), are increasingly helping psychiatrists stay in touch on the road or manage multi-site practices. This article reviews the capabilities of most smartphone models (Table) and offers practical advice to help you choose the right device for your practice. WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH A SMARTPHONE Make phone calls. Most smartphones integrate high-end wireless phone features such as selective call screening, Bluetooth wireless device compatibility, moderate-resolution cameras, and voice recognition for hands-free dialing. Call quality varies by device but is generally above average as cell phones go. Smartphones cost between $100 and $500 depending on model (the more cutting-edge the smartphone, the higher the price) and whether a service activation discount is offered. A service provider’s area and coverage uniformity usually affects call quality. Some service plans include data service (ie, e-mail) with phone service, whereas others charge an extra monthly fee depending on volume of data to be transmitted. Send and receive e-mail. Smartphones include fully featured e-mail clients. While away from the office, you can save immeasurable time communicating with staff and colleagues via text instead of paging and waiting for callbacks. “Pop-ups” let you quickly view and respond to e-mails without disrupting workflow.
