Free iPad EHR / EMR Electronic Medical Records — Tag Archive

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.

Stethoscope Replaced With Mobile Ultrasound

Ever want to check out your patient’s heart valves at bedside, in the hallway, or at the nurse’s station? Even check out a friend’s heart valves at a cocktail party? Well, that may be going overboard, but at least you would know you could if you wanted to.

These mobile ultrasound devices, at the size of a cellular phone, can dramatically improve health care delivery, patient education (because you can show them what’s going on in real time), and health care costs.

You can also view heart musculature, rhythm, and blood flow. Hello future, it’s nice to meet you. Bye stethoscopes, it was nice knowing you.

iPad 2 vs Windows PC vs Android on Mobile Health

iPad 2 vs Android

The iPad 2 is sold out, according to Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster and his team, which surveyed Apple retail stores over the weekend.

Munster estimates Apple sold 400,000 to 500,000 iPad 2s, which would mean the device has fared better than the original iPad, 300,000 of which were sold in its opening weekend. How many of these people were physicians buying the device? I’m sure at least a few.

Survey Finds Physicians Favor iPad
A recent survey by Aptilon surveyed 341 U.S. health care professionals’ touch pad computing preferences. Among the survey respondents:

79% preferred the iPad;
12% preferred Windows PC devices;
9% preferred Android devices.

The survey found that 59% of respondents who already have an iPad said they use it for medical tasks, such as receiving and reviewing updated medical information and completing paperwork. In addition, the survey found that 38% of respondents expect to have an iPad within the year.

A quote from the survey:

“As the number of health care professionals using iPads increases, Aptilon expects to see increasing opportunities for interactions between industry professionals and health care professionals seeking relevant medical content using their tablets.”
