Power to the portables.

Portable computing devices generally are classified into four categories: laptop, palmtop, notebook, and pen-based computers. If a portable unit weighs over eight pounds, call it a laptop. If a stylus is used to input data, call it pen-based or a pen computer. Palmtops frequently are electronic organizers or resources: Sharp's Wizard line stores appointments and addresses; Franklin's Med-Spell contains Stedman's medical dictionary. Notebooks often incorporate a QWERT keyboard, and sometimes include a pointing device. NEC's notebooks in 1988 were the first sub-laptop computers. According to a 1992 report from Market Intelligence Research Corp., Mountain View, Calif., 4.6 million sub-laptops were sold in 1991 for $2.6 billion. By 1998 the market may reach $25 billion. The report predicts that one sub-category of pen computers, which are designed to be held in one hand while information is input with a pen-like stylus, will prove most useful to the health-care industry. Pen tablets, as opposed to pen clipboards, use faster, more expensive processors, store more data, and "are expected to allow [caregivers] to carry full patient charting with them ... and allow information to be recorded directly to patient files." Sub-laptops are on-line in many healthcare facilities: Greenwich hospital, Stanford University Medical Clinic, Humana Hospital Audubon, Rancho Los Amigos Medical Center, and others.

1992 electronic claims listing. Product roundup.

Late in 1991, Health and Human Services Secretary Louis Sullivan challenged health insurers and providers to increase the number of claims moved electronically by 10 percent each year. [See "Electronic claims are smart way to trim costs, share outcomes," January 1992 Computers in Healthcare, p. 52.] "Eventually, to receive care, every American patient will need only to present a health insurance card issued by a private or government plan to a hospital or doctor," according to Sullivan. "Patients will know how much their insurance will pay and what cost they are responsible for....Ultimately, patients should not have to fill out insurance forms." Numerous companies are striving to do away with those ever-present paper forms. Approximately 40 electronics claims firms listed here are specializing in claims management--from the standpoint of the clearinghouse, the physician's office or the hospital. We asked them about their best-selling electronics claims product, its price and any new products they now have for electronic claims or electronic data interchange. We hope this listing helps boost this year's electronic claims beyond Sullivan's 10 percent mark.
