Hopefully, it will live up to its hype and I will be basking in heaven using the iPad to do pretty much everything whether in the hospital, operating room, or clinic. Here's a YouTube video showing the full features of the ClamCase: What the ClamCase does that no other device offers is a wireless bluetooth keyboard BUILT-IN to the iPad case in a single beautiful package! As soon as direct Citrix access is available (should the hospital upgrade their Citrix software), I would change to Citrix Receiver instead of LogMeIn in a heartbeat. SO, I basically use Jump to access NextGen which is accessible via terminal services and I use LogMeIn to access MediTech (as well as PACS viewer). But I guess you get what you pay for! Having used both, I personally prefer Jump (originally purchased WinAdmin because it was cheaper). Jump has better mouse usage controls (there's a mouse!), better virtual keyboard (including Tab, Esc, Function keys), and allows for external keyboard text entry. The difference between Jump and WinAdmin are several-fold. You can see a screenshot (to the right) where NextGen Master IM was opened up on the iPad using WinAdmin app. Click here to download WinAdmin or here to download Jump. the remote desktop appears on your iPad! Both apps are iPad optimized and costs $8.99 for WinAdmin or $19.99 for Jump. Just punch in the same info you do to open terminal services on Windows and viola. The keyboard you see is a bluetooth keyboard wirelessly connected to the iPad (more on this below).Ģ) WinAdmin or Jump: Of course, if one is able to access medical records using terminal services (rather than citrix, VPN, etc), there's a perfect app for that called WinAdmin or Jump. The pictures below show MediTech as well as PACS being opened on the iPad using LogMeIn. As such, any software including EMR programs like MediTech, NextGen, or indeed any other application (via Citrix) on the desktop, can be opened and visualized on the iPad. In essence, the iPad takes control of the desktop which you can see on the iPad screen. The LogMeIn desktop software (free) also needs to be downloaded to any desktop you want to access/control with the iPad. In order for me to access all electronic health records, two iPad apps are necessary:ġ) LogMeIn: Wonderful app that allows the iPad to remotely control a Windows (or Mac) desktop computer anywhere in the world. To give some background, I use MediTech and PACS in the hospital and NextGen in the outpatient clinic. ![]() The information provided here is based on using an Apple iPad 16GB model with WiFi only ($499).įoremost of these evolutions is the iPad/iPhone apps now available that allows for EMR access. ![]() However, several developments have occurred that has since changed my mind due to the ingenuity of app developers and other progressive technology that allows the iPad to connect with hospital and outpatient clinic electronic medical records (EMR) regardless of operating system and security settings. Admittedly, I was not entirely convinced the iPad would ever be useful in this varied medical setting which utilized different EMR platforms when it first came out earlier this year. In the hospital, I use MediTech and PACS while in the clinic I use NextGen. I see patients in all sorts of environments including the hospital, operating room, and outpatient clinic. To give a little background, I am a ENT (otolaryngology-head and neck surgeon).
