Dr. John Halamka CIO and Emergency Physician BlackBerry® 8820 smartphone* > Wireless updates for Epocrates® Rx > Wi-Fi® connectivity on campus > Unified inbox with priority alerts > Secure Enterprise access to patient data (EHR) Ask Dr. John Halamka Why He Loves His BlackBerry “Being a CIO is just one of my jobs and passions. I’m also an emergency room physician and a worldwide lecturer. No matter where I am, no matter what time zone, I need my virtual team at my fingertips. That’s why I chose the BlackBerry® smartphone for myself and for all of my direct reports and key operations people. Without my BlackBerry smartphone, I couldn’t be as responsive in my professional life–or balance it all with being a rock climber, winemaker, husband and father.” Learn about BlackBerry Business Solutions for your medical teams at www.blackberry.com/healthcare. © 2008 Research In Motion Limited.
