iPhone has become a necessity for more and more people and it is starting to find its way in the field of EHR. Epic recently announced they have released an app called Haiku.
“Haiku provides authorized clinical users of Epic’s Electronic Health Record with secure access to clinic schedules, hospital patient lists, health summaries, test results and notes. Haiku also supports dictation and In Basket access. Haiku works on both the iPhone and iPod touch,” according to the app’s description on the AppStore.”
The partnership between Epic and Apple is an interesting one. With the technical background provided by Apple, there will be more and more EHR companies jumping onto the smart phone bandwagon. EHR apps for Android anyone?
