Practice Fusion enters iPad arena

Practice Fusion, a web-based EHR system provider, has developed an EHR for the iPad. 

The iPad EHR includes charting, scheduling, e-prescribing, referral letters and other clinical features tailored to the primary care medical practice.
 
With a free Practice Fusion EHR account and a $29.95 LogMeIn Ignition for iPhone/iPad app, medical providers can use an iPad to chart anywhere they have cellphone or WiFi reception, Practice Fusion stated.

This removes technological and financial barriers for house-call physicians and clinicians because they will be able to chart anytime, anywhere without being tethered to a locally installed EHR or a stand-alone computer, according to the San Francisco-based developer.

    Providers can perform all EHR functions from their iPad tablet, increasing their ability to communicate and collaborate with patients and other care providers in real time, the company added.
