I'm doing a similar thing as Parkda. I place the laptop at the foot of the table, and sit facing the patient but perhaps slanted at a 15 degree angle away from the patient. I can type and look at a patient at the same time.
I also using multiple templates, hence I spend little time looking at the computer. I'm getting the hand of it. I like the wireless, if I forgot to print something from the room and I'm standing at the desk....I can open the laptop and print from the front desk. It's really cool.
