Just an additional followup, have used the current set up in one exam room this week and there have been several unanticipated positive occurrences.

I am glad I went with the HDMI cable instead of the Chromecast to connect the chromebook to the big screen TV in the exam room. There is no hesitation between screens I noted with the chromecast at home, although I did not try the chromecast at office. But more importantly, I take the chromebook with me in and out of exam room and unhook from TV as I leave so the unintended rooming of patient with another's chart open on TV will not happen. With the chromecast I think there would be a higher likelihood for this to occur.

Also, I have only been thinking about the patient benefiting from the big screen TV chart, but found that with chart open while examining patient, I can refer to chart without sitting on stool and peering at chromebook on the 14 inch screen, so selfishly this has been an unanticipated improvement with efficiency.

Also the refill on a laser cartridge is about 50 dollars, and over time the savings on wear and tear of printers in each exam room and less cartridge use will pay for the TV's in about a year or two because instead of printing up graphs of BP,Weight, labs, can now do this visually. I use the plural as I intend to duplicate the setup in my second exam room.
