"A doctor's time is very precious," said Harry Wang, director of health and mobile product research for the Dallas-based research firm Parks Associates. Having access to broadband can allow physicians to squeeze in quick tasks throughout the day, such as sending an e-mail to a patient. It would add little to the doctor's workload but do a lot to improve communication between doctor and patient, Wang said. But these tasks are more time-intensive with a dial-up Internet connection, he added.
