New healthcare IT compliance service protects electronic medical records

4/9/2010

The last time I saw him, I noticed he carried a tablet PC instead of the usual thick paper-based folder full of my medical records. I commented on the switch to electronic medical records (EMR) and he said, "I was a holdout but my staff forced me into it."

Healthcare Wants a Tablet, But Not Apple’s iPad | Survey Results

Posted on February 4, 2010 at 6:14 pm |

Last week, during the fever pitch surrounding the announcement of Apple’s iPad tablet, Software Advice surveyed 178 physicians, nurses, medical students and healthcare IT professionals about what the healthcare industry’s ideal tablet would look like.

A “right-sized” EMR? Tablet PC + Microsoft Office OneNote

While the media will be focused today on Apple’s Tablet announcement, I’d like to remind HealthBlog readers that there’s nothing new about Tablet devices. I have been evangelizing the use of Tablet PCs in health for nearly a decade. And over the last several years, particularly with the release of Windows Vista and now Windows 7, the Tablet PC value proposition for healthcare providers just gets better and better.

First of all, the devices themselves are better. And, healthcare providers have more choices than ever before (I have four Tablet PCs on my desk right now). There are excellent Tablets available from most major manufacturers including ones made expressly for clinicians such as the devices offered by Motion Computing, Panasonic, Tablet Kiosk and other vendors.
