EMR and EHR:

As I’ve written these dozens of articles, talked to hundreds of doctors, and far too many EHR (Electronic Health Records) vendors it’s become clear to me that an iPad interface is basically a Must Have feature for an [electronic medical records system].

More doctors than ever are using iPads in their practices, either as handy guides to drug interactions or to access patient record systems remotely. Writing for the EMR and EHR blog, John advocates for vendors to consider developing native apps, as many doctors are now opting to access their desktop systems remotely (using screen sharing software) since they have no other option.
