HIV/AIDS Information at the Point of Care Survey
------------------------------------------------
 
Dear colleagues,
 
SATELLIFE is exploring ways to make the handheld computer (or 
PDA, Personal Digital Assistant) useful at the point of care. We 
have a wide range of material to offer -- but want to make sure 
we are offering what people need and want. If you could have in-
formation at the point of care, what type of information would be 
the most important for practitioners treating patients with HIV? 
 
We would appreciate it greatly if you could take a few minutes to 
complete the survey below. Your feedback is really important to 
us. Thank you.
