GM Launches Wireless Health Care Pilot

More than four months after announcing its initiative to promote the use of handheld devices among physicians, General Motors launched the first pilot phase of its wireless health care initiative. GM and health care vendor Medscape will provide physicians in Shreveport, La., and Oklahoma City who treat GM employees with a PalmVx, a printer, and a prescription-writing system free of charge. The companies will also offer Medscape's digital health record system, Logician, at a discount, although officials wouldn't reveal the amount.
