@oristarA,

Yes, "one big one" refers to the Mayo Clinic, a large major hospital. "Only half of your decision-making" simply means that "whether to provide iPads to [the] medical staff" is only one of the decisions which will have to be made, although the present discussion centers on this subject.

Thank you Andrei.

@oristarA,

"Patient engagement" here refers really to patient "involvement" or how patients are being served by the new technology.
