Our team will be showing off our iPad EHR and other medical apps an Apple hosted event. The event will be on July 27th 2011 at the San Francisco Apple store 6pm.
We will be showing doctors what apps are being used in medical practices as well as some secrets about the iPad and how to use it effectively in your practice.
Our team will be releasing the first version of our EHR practice wall in the next version of our app, all chats will be posted to the practice wall. Doctors and staff will see a feed of “practice chatter” information. Doctors and staff will be able to chat with each other in real time through our web platform and through iPads.
Communication is one of our main focus’s in a mobile EHR and it is something that a number of our users have asked for. We are focusing first on rolling this out to our iPad EHR app and to our web platform. It should be about in the new few coming weeks!
iPad EHR, iPhone EHR and web platform communication are all the future of healthcare from within the practice to doctor-patient communication. The practice wall is just one of the features we are rolling out to make mobile EMR communication better. Think of the first version like an internal medical practice Twitter stream, it is going to be really amazing!

Why is anything successful? Because people like to use it. Usability drives the doctor to pick it up because they enjoy the interface. They enjoy how they are in the driver’s seat, and it’s why people generally enjoy driving a Porsche over a Ford Taurus.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter as much how important EHR’s are to improve health care delivery, or to list all of the benefits of electronic storage of health information. Rambling on about $44K stimulus packages, Obamacare, electronic prescribing, immunization registries, or medication reconciliation will only get you so far.
Health care professionals desire a new approach because they all know the one they’re using now isn’t quite cutting it. They are thirsty for something innovative, easy to use, and elegantly beautiful. Usability will drive EHR growth, leaving all others variables behind.
Case in point, Kalorama Information released a study March 1st, 2011, exploring the EHR world. EHR growth is expected to increase 15% per year until 2015. Kalorama Information found in their study that it’s the usability of the EHR that will be the ultimate deciding factor in the growth market for EHR’s.
Practice management is the second biggest segment, predicted to grow at nearly 11% per year until 2015.
