  • Doesn’t work with ipad case

    Got the newest generation iPad Pro with the magic case. Can’t log in using the ipad keyboard so super annoying that I have to remove from case and type in password every time on the ipad keyboard.
  • Got to agree - so much potential - so little follow-through

    I’ve been to Wisconsin and seen the amazing organization that is Epic. With their incredible resources, there is no reason for them to not make this a fully functional application.
  • Embarrassing

    The engineers in Madison should be ashamed of themselves for producing an entirely useless app given the share of the market that epic has. Judy, you are a billionaire and very impressive, and epic has been great for healthcare around the world. Now please produce a useful iPad app. Thank you
  • Severely limited functionality

    This app is a shadow of what epic is on the desktop. You need to be able to place all types of orders and write notes plus review results. This app falls short in all three departments. All three need to be vastly improved before this app can be considered something useful on the floor.
  • Opportunities for improvement

    Since I am a surgical pathologist, there are a few desirable features that would be nice to have on this Canto:
    1. Surgery scheduled in the OR (so that I can prepare for possible frozen sections)
    2. Patient census (lists) of different physician practice groups (so that I can anticipate possible surgeries)
    3. Access to surgical pathology reports (so that I can review current and previous reports)

  • Lacks functions that you would want in a mobile EPIC platform

    Important functions like searchable lab or imaging results, which should be straightforward features, are not present. Note entry is limited. God features include the ability to write some (not all) prescriptions, manage some in box notes, but the inability to message patients from within their chart is a frustration as well. This has such potential to be useful its like someone invented a car but left it without a steering wheel.

  • Not working at all

    Needing this app to do video visits with patients, and it wont even let me sign in. Completely useless.
  • Add a vitals tab

    It takes 5 minutes to find vitals on this app. How absurd, this is a epic’s mobile version and you cant even find vitals. Nevertheless to say you cant put orders or write notes..amazing app
  • Beware. Don’t expect too much

    Beware. Why, do you ask? If you are looking for a useful tablet app with more utility than Haiku (iPhone app), then you will not find it here. There is so much potential for this iPad app to be useful (especially on iPad Pro). Want to edit PMH, PSH, FH, and SH? Nope. Want to write orders? Many require you to complete them at a workstation. What about notes? That’s a no go. Want to find those final Microbiology results? Too bad, that’s too “old” for the app to display it. Unfortunately, this app falls short in all areas that matter. What could be a supreme utility that saves time in countless ways throughout your day is, instead, a glorified version of Haiku and with all too similar limitations. This could easily be the go to place for bedside and/or ward documentation, but for now, it’s just wishful thinking. It’s too bad because I can’t even use Epic via Citrix since last Epic update without it crashing within 5 minutes on my iPad Pro.

  • Does not reach its potential

    This app could be so useful but falls very short. All though you can view the handoffs for patients (unlike its counterpart haiku for your phone) you are unable to edit the handoffs. This is problematic if you are using the handoff as it is intended (to create a running to-do-list). Otherwise you would have to go to a computer between each patient you see which is particularly impractical when working as an inpatient physician. Also can’t order meds. And worst of all, you can’t view the “med hx” to view the administration history to confirm if and when patients have received their medications.

    Overall disappointed! More of a gimmick than a practical, time saving program.
