iPad's in the Podiatry Clinic

Hi Craig:
I would really like to use an iPad in the office if I could transfer MRI and plain films from
a DVD in Dicom format to an iPad.
Can you let me know if that's possible (and quick)
Thanks
Steve

Hi Craig.

Thanks for the you tube.

I guess if one has all the records on a EMR system, then it would be relatively easy to
access the data.
I do not have this system. I receive studies on DVD and must upload to my system
and the Osirix software.
I am still unsure how I can get data onto an iPad.

Hi Craig and others

I'm part of a pedorthic group that has created an EMR system geared toward pedorthists. It has been on the market for almost 2 years. The program is called Kiwi and it can be run on my iPAD or any computer. I wish I had told you about this earlier when I saw you in Seattle last fall. I use it on an iPAD with my own patients.

I think you might find it interesting. It can do a variety of things: handle a patient database, handle a referral database, provide relevant ways to record biomechanical observations (e.g. in gait, in posture, diabetic foot, goniometer measurements etc...). Shortly, it will also allow you to manage your schedule.

It will also automatically generate patient reports, capture signatures... the list goes on and on. Here's a link to learn more.

It's also only $39/month.

Not as good as "Fork `andles"....but it made me smile.

 

Interesting read.

I have the option to write my consultation notes with my Ipad, but I've just stuck to booking appointments with it and checking my patients histories - iPads are great, but certain things you just can't beat using a keyboard and mouse for!

(And you look like a bit of a poser when typing on it!!!)

 

plasticine ipad - nice little video to take the mind off things.

 

Hi Craig
Now that the IPhone4 has the built in wireless hotspot there is no need for the 3 G model for the odd time you don't have free WiFi, the cheaper Wireless I Pad works just as well at a much lower purchase cost, you also eliminate the need for another internet account!

Now that ipads have been out for several years, is anyone using them for history taking, medical records, video recording or anything else?

 

Just paid for some Podiatry Arena advertising on the device that I am also using for teaching presentations, processing registrations via PayPal, answering queries, liaising with my staff on the other side of the world via Skype, as well as sourcing great tickets for the West End shows.

Yes, all from my iPad. How did we ever operate without one???

Now for pod specific apps; apparently FrontDesk/smartsoft are working on an app for practice management, can't wait!

Slim and gorgeous (so is the iPad!).

 

Thanks Jayne - handy app and only £1.49

 

we use practicepal for all notes, bookings etc on pcs, macs, ipads and smart phones across the practice - works well and constantly evolving....www.practicepal.co.uk

I have been using a few nice apps - Footdecide which has some nice graphics on foot conditions that I have found useful in sharing with patients. And Excelade which I have used to again visually share info with patients & allows me to scribble & draw on.

 

Ipads and for that matter iphones/smart phones work great with Front desk www.smartsoft.com.au to make appointments, we use it alot when outside the clinics, clinical notes are a bit clunky still though.
Olympic park imaging in melbourne have an amazing app to view images and reports too.
cheers

Stuart, is the Olympic Park app their own app ie. to use in their own clinic?

 

I found week calendar was a great app for the iphone. They have the ipad version coming out in the next 6 weeks. It allows you to copy an existing appointment and copying to a new one without deleting the orginal

They are quick to respond on twitter with problems too

Hi Zac
its http://iop.net.au/

Olympic park Imaging, its a radiology practice, xray, ct mri etc

 

Hi Stirling,

I'd be very careful about storing appointments on the ipad unless you are totally sure of the apps saving abilities. I had an app that was a diary type app. When it updated..all the info I'd added..vanished..Dear Diary, you suck. Annoying and definitely wouldnt trust for business purposes.

Cheers, Pip

 

Good point Pip. Did this happen even though it would've been backed in iCloud?

 

Hi Guy's,
Just to let you know were are an online software system called Nookal and are planning to release an ipad version in the next 8-12 weeks. This will have appointments, clinical notes, accounts, SMS from the iPad.
Thanks
Darren
