Most of data entry is not done in the room, its too awkward... still, its nice to be able to recall something about the patient you haven't seen in a year via emr. Old Joe who walks in every week will unlikely benefit from emr because the doctor has his entire medical record memorized by then.Nirav Patelhttp://www.delmarfamilymed.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22539915.post-44157142941963585802010-02-24T15:53:14.867-06:002010-02-24T15:53:14.867-06:00I agree that IPad plays a big role in e-health, bu...I agree that IPad plays a big role in e-health, but some questions are still unanswered.

That apps has two main sides:<br /><br />1) a provider organizer (scheduled, patient(s) list(s), notification/email/signature queues, etc), and <br /><br />2) the other side, a patient "chart". Within that patient chart, the mini-apps today include flowsheets, documentation tools, order tools, and, single-click methods to jump between those contexts.<br /><br />You suggested that an app specific to specific workflows, following the iPhone App usage "pattern", using the home screen launch or app-to-app cross launches.<br /><br />What do you see that looking like? Will it require a bread-crumb method to move around? How will a complex, async data exchange workflow like discharging a patient (complete with medication reconciliation, production of a D/C summary, patient instruction, referral letter, and prescription generation) work as an app or apps?<br /><br />Is is practically necessary for some or all of those apps to be OSS? Alternatively, do you see this kind of a workflow needing to be anchored in Epic, Cerner or other vendor's platform to assure business process fidelity?<br /><br />Given your broad experience with commercial and homegrown systems, I would guess that you'd have a more informed view than I've read elsewhere about the relevance of the iPad. I get the idea of charge capture or results review; I'm struggling with workflows common to seeing patients in ED, ICU, in consultation, or in a busy ambulatory setting, where the iPad (or even Tablet PC) is tightly integrated. Perhaps the current NextGen or Allscripts interfaces are fine as is, whether on a PC or an iPad. Forget about app-ifying them.<br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts, Lyle.JoeBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05389682410791855882noreply@blogger.com
