Workstation Reviews

Tips on selecting the right workstations for your medical office:

Workstations can be used in conjunction with Tablet PCs, laptops or all on their own in each treatment room. Many offices choose to use workstations instead of Tablet PCs simply because it is a relatively uncomplicated technology, with less of a learning curve.

Workstations can be an ideal option if an office has a large number of providers but few treatment rooms. In this scenario an office is not required to equip each provider/assistant with a Tablet PC or laptop, as one workstation per treatment room is sufficient.

Workstations are almost always the choice system for front desk computers or where mobile computers are not required and/or cost is a concern as they usually price well below $1000 per unit. Ultra Small Form Factor (USFF) workstations by manufacturers such as Dell® and IBM® are very popular options for offices with limited space.
