  • A good start

    It is a clean uncluttered interface. However it is limited. You do, have however the ability to look at hospital notes. So the previous reviewer may not have that functionality implemented at his hospital. Or seen the nonobvious way to get to them. I agree that the ability to interact in some way, especially order writing and writing progress notes would make this a truly useful app.

  • needs work

    It's a good idea but underdeveloped. You can't read inpatient progress notes so it's not useful for rounding other than as a directory of where your patients are and maybe to alert you to critical labs. For any other hospital work you're going to need to log into a workstation anyway. As noted by others, no real way to annotate labs or send results to your patients, plus you don't see everything in your in basket so you need to get back to a real computer.

    As for clinic use, it would be nice to have a list of progress notes available for review prior to going into a room.

    For use off site, you can't order meds or message patients so you're going to be tied to a telephone anyway.

    Great start, would like to see epic put some effort into this. Until then, I'm not throwing away my laptop.

  • Works great

    This app works great. Not alot of input options, but very useful for chart review.

    How can anyone even complain about it not working on a beta IOS version? This should not be expected.
  • A good start...

    This app is a good start for having access to Epic remotely with the iPad. The user interface is good. However, the function of the app is too limited. You are limited to only the next few days for your schedule. You cannot look at any date before the current day or past 1 week or so. You cannot read telephone notes. You can mark a lab result as reviewed but cannot make any result notes or add to the visit note for when that lab was ordered. Basically, there is no editing of any chart notes.

    It would be a great app if it was a lot more functional and I could actually work on visit notes or lab results. Until then it has very limited functionality - basically only for reviewing a chart when not in my office.
