I am not sure how you are qualifying the term medical devices. However, if computerized charting counts then there you have an example. I am a nurse, and I have worked at a few different facilities. I think that there is a pretty much nation-wide struggle to get into all computerized documentation. The first facility in which I worked did a few things in the computer when I hired on there. They soon found that there were still bugs in their system and switched back to all paper charting while they worked on the system. The second place had a system in place but they did not use all the components of it. They mostly used paper but were trying to expand their computerized processes. The third facility does all computerized charting with a very few minor exceptions. They used the same program as the second facility, but they had moved ahead with theirs. Quickly: a couple benefits of computer charting are no worries about illegible handwriting and no worries about destruction of paper charts e.g. burning, tearing, ink running, or a spill on the paper. Downsides include viruses and non-computer-savvy personnel. As technology progresses, computer charting systems get more fool-proof and easier to use.
