I have recently started using my iPad in the exam rooms and it is superior to laptops, in my opinion. I use a remote access program to my "main computer" as well as a wireless bluetooth keyboard and it works like a charm. Then, if I get called out of the room for some reason, I can hit the close-screen button on the iPad, go to my office (where the main computer is) and deal with another doctor who is calling me or whatever. Then, when I return to the exam room, I merely hit the home key, put in my code and pick up where I left off. I have not gotten locked up once nor has there been any issue whatsoever.
