Some possibilities include:

http://electrovaya.com/product/sc2100.html
I bet you could get better pricing for a bulk order that conveys momentum
for the product.

It is worth looking on http://www.medicaltabletpc.com for the medical
perspective.
A hardware review by a doctor is at:

Many of the most useful resources will be regular Windows medical programs
that don't need much handwriting. A particular advantage comes from
programs that generate a list of terms that can be added to your tablet
dictionary, making input of medical terms simple. Many Web-based programs
will not need modification except if they use particular technologies such
as Java, which are more like conventional programs requiring some special
modification to work on Tablet XP (see www.segal.org/java/ for details).
