iPad in the Emergency Department

http://www.healthcare-informatics.com/blogs/david-raths/could-ipads-and-killer-app-transform-ed

Sparrow EDIS is a native iPad app that allows ED staff to relate to their patients without having to move away to a computer station to do additional tasks. With the iPad solution, doctors and nursers can continue interacting with their patients while taking notes on the iPad. The app also connects with the hospitals EMR to bring up existing patient records and history. It allows doctors to dictate notes and use voice recognition technology to transcribe them. In addition, the app allows the staff to order lab tests, MRIs, Xrays extra through the app which interfaces with other hospitals systems to make it happen.

Apps like Sparrow EDIS can really help improve the quality of care and help prevent disruptions in the workflow in the critical ER/ED setting.
