I know you can use an app to remote in to your AC. The screen on the iPhone is too small too chart. Will the app work on the iPad and will you be able to chart? I am dying know. I have been thinking of getting a tablet and this would solve this issue since I really want an iPad for eBooks, web browsing, and other uses.

Janice, it's a safe bet that even if the current apps don't work on the iPad immediatly that they will either be updated, or there will be new RDP apps as replacements. I'm not sure about typing your notes on it though. I like keyboards, and tactility.

Of course, it may be great for ebooks and browsing, so you can get it and see.

I have been looking at a tablet. I see nursing home patients exclusively. Tablet technology would be very convenient.
I did not really think the iPad would be helpful, but it was a fun thought.
Does anyone have any feedback on the best or most useful tablet pc. I have been using a laptop, but it is too bulkly to take into rooms and battery life is not long enough. I used a tablet in a previous practice and tablets had much longer battery life.

Just picked up my first iPad this weekend, and was surprised at the screen clarity and the typing interface - more effective than I thought it would be.

Because one of the organizations that I work with is developing iPad/Android tablet applications, we have a pretty good bead on the pipeline, and I would suggest you wait a few months to see what is coming if you are not in a rush.

The next wave of tablets are going to re-define the marketplace for hand-held computing.

We'll also be trying out LogMeIn on the iPad, and see how viable it is in a clinical environment.

Downloaded the Kindle app for iPad, and it quickly downloaded my purchased books onto the iPad. The iPad has replaced my Kindle for evening and night reading - sharp,variable backlighting, and doesn't disturb my lovely bride.

Battery life is good as well - the two of us have used it on and off since Saturday, and it is still @ 46%.

Surprising amount of free medical resources; will be showing it to practitioners to get their take on the usefulness of the information.

After all the noise on the internet regarding the iPad, this is the first helpful review I've read. Would you post back here, to the forum, after considering LogMeIn?

Has anybody conceived a future for the iPad and AmazingCharts in the day-to-day office environment, other than maybe offering AC as a SaaS? I don't see Jon porting to Mac anytime soon.

LogMeIn Ignition already runs on the iPad, connects to your Windows PC, and runs your Windows apps, like AC. If it runs as fast over WiFi on the iPad as it does on my iPhone, it is definitely usable with AC.

Great for pulling up stuff from home, but is it fast enough to run room-to- room instead of a wired system?

I am already using wireless-G Motion C5 tablets room-to-room, plenty fast with AC. And the iPad is wireless-N.

Are you using this for all your patient visits or for hospital visits and are you doing all your documentation it?

The Motion C5 tablets have stylus input and only limited handwriting recognition, so I use them in the exam room for reference, much like a paper chart, just jotting a few notes. After seeing the patient, I can put the C5 into the charging stand, which has USB, and use a keyboard & mouse with AC.

We also use the motion computing tablets (le1600 and le1700). We use the logmein ignition apps on iphones so the doctor and nurse practioner can access records while rounding in the hospital. They use this as reference to prior notes and med lists, not for charting, while the pt is admitted.
