this website is stating how doctors are beginning to convert to ipads instead of using the paper charts.
examples;
if a doctor wants to know a status about a patient, instead of going to their room to view their status on their charts, the doctors can be connected to EHR so their lab results can go straight to their ipads which can save time which is very vital for a doctor or nurse.
there is even a hospital in Britain that is using ipads to relax their patients during surgery.
also, ipads are now beginning to create apps so you will no longer have to fill out the clipboard and now you can do it on your app.
