I think now is the best time for a medical practice or clinic/hospital to pick up the original iPad at $345 USD from Apple. iPad2 offers no real added value in healthcare. In other words, what will you do differently with patients that you couldn't already do with the original iPad. Engage with them faster?

$345 is a also a great price for medical assistant data entry devices. Please let us know if your EHR runs on the iPad or if you use remote access software.
