Just when I thought my path was clear, Tom has to make the case for tablets :-)
Supporting his case is the frustrating realization that each user in the office can only sign on to one computer at a time (unless a user logs on with a Mac and a PC-then they can log onto two computers simultaneously). With the $39/month charge per seat we are trying to keep the number of seats (users) at a minimum -three to be exact (front desk, nurse, myself).
Our office has three exam rooms (third room used only one day/week), the nurse's work space, the front desk and my office. So five computers and three users. How much of a hassle is it for the nurse and myself to constantly be logging on and off throughout the day?
" Pharmacies and Home Health accept the handwritten signature, where they won't allow a signature image -- they call that a "stamp"." This comment by Tom prompts the next question which is How much of a hassle is it signing Rxs, lab orders, etc. with just a mouse? It seems a touch screen is needed for such endeavors.
Once again, thanks to all for the helpful comments!
