Adoption of the iPad is Transforming the Healthcare Landscape
I found the article below very interesting, as I am presently using my iPad with a program called Splashtop Remote Desktop to access my EMR on my PC. I have ritePen installed on the PC for handwriting recognition. Now, for the first time, I can actually use my iPad for business production (not consuming/viewing), by using handwriting in my EMR, all from my iPad. I don't need to depend on cloud software or specific applications written for the iPad. I can run any Windows application on my PC, from my iPad, including my EMR!

Splashtop:

1.       Download and install rP on the PC you want to connect to. (host server)
2.       Download install and configure Streamer on same PC. (host server)
3.       Download install and configure Splash Remote Desktop on your client iPad. (iTunes)
4.      Your Splash Desktop Remote, on iPad, should automatically find your PC with Streamer installed. Log in and start being productive on an iPad. The bundle works very fast in the office or over any wifi connection. Splashtop was developed for viewing movies so it works very fast, contingent on your broadband connection of course. (works on Android and iPhone as well).

A couple years ago, I was referred to a specialist by my family physician. When I visited the specialist, I noticed he was using an electronic health record (EHR) on a desktop computer in the examination room. Throughout the entire visit the specialist stared at the computer screen, not even glancing up when I inquired about my ailment.

Finding the Right EHR for Your Mac-Based Medical Practice

Apple has clearly made it's mark in the consumer world. When was the last time you saw someone with a mobile device other than an iPhone? They are also gaining notoriety in other markets, such as healthcare. Hospitals and physicians are beginning to run their practices on Apple devices. Those that do are also looking for vendors - like ehr companies - that make software to run on their Mac OS X system. However, the medical software industry has been slow to develop such programs. We were only able to identify 20 EHR and practice management systems developed for the Mac. Fortunately, there is an abundance of web-based EMR systems that provide sophisticated functionality no matter what operating system you are using.

Five medical practice tasks simplified—from desk to diagnosis—using the Tablet PC
1. Interacting with your patient during a consultation
A picture or sketch is worth a thousand words when communicating treatment plans or injury descriptions with your patient. Patients internalize and retain information better through interactive tools. Adding handwritten notes, sketches, and images is easy with the digital pen and handwriting capability.
2. Entering handwritten notes into the Electronic Health Record
Using the Tablet PC in Tablet mode allows the use of a stylus to click on software choices and enter handwritten notes that are captured electronically and are easily accessible. Charting can be completed during patient visits while still maintaining a personal connection with the patient and eliminating the need to enter information into the EHR later. Medical instructions can be wirelessly* sent for printing and handed to the patient at the end of the appointment.
3. Generating accurate Prescriptions for fast fulfillment
Electronically use your Tablet PC at point of care to review medication lists, select prescriptions, accurately prepare scripts that and perform medication reconciliation. All of these tasks can be sent wirelessly* to the front office for the patient at check out; or directly to the pharmacy for fast fulfillment.
4. Sharing information at point of care
Share x-rays, other types of images, and results with your patients in the examination room. Multitouch gestures, finger taps and swipes across the screen allow easy and efficient navigation through applications and menus, to compare x-ray images and look up pertinent medical information. Images of procedures can be shared with and saved into their medical record.
5. Facilitating efficient workflow practices from office to examination room
Your workday may begin in your office, answering emails and planning your day, but you shouldn't spend more time trying to figure out your computers than you do practicing medicine. Your Tablet PC is docked and working as a fully featured desktop PC. With a simple flip, the Tablet PC can be used in tablet mode, using the stylus to enter handwritten notes or click on software choices. Move from the office to the examination room with ease.
