Tablets will be a fixture in many doctors’ offices in 2012, research firm NPD Group reports. About 75 percent of small and midsize medical practices plan to buy tablets over the next year, according to a recent survey by the company. The results were part of NPD’s third-quarter “SMB Technology Monitor.” Released Dec. 29, the report found that in small and midsize businesses (less than 1,000 employees), 73 percent planned to buy tablets over the next year, up from 68 percent in NPD’s second-quarter report. Small medical practices tend to buy tablets at a faster pace than larger enterprises, said Stephen Baker, vice president of industry analysis at NPD.
