### 1/5 — Terrible Bedside Manner

*2026-06-27*

There’s a barcode on the in-patient monitor in the room.  The monitor shows the patient’s care team’s photos and names along with the patient’s emergency contact info, and the barcode, among other things.  I scanned the barcode while the VPN was on and when the VPN was off (if you use the VPN’s "Kill Switch" make sure it is off).  Each time, it said it was unable to connect. [iPad app review]

### 1/5 — Useless

*2016-05-10*

I wish this worked like the iPhone app, which doesn't rely on a barcode scan. Here are the problems with the iPad app:

A) - There's no way to set this up from home. You must rely on hospital admission.

B) - The barcode on admission bracelets are invalid for this app.

C) - NO STAFF in the hospital which use the Epic system can understand how this works. NOT ONE. From the nurses, doctors, or admission staff. I use one of the best hospitals in the country, and they are clueless as to this app or its existence. Only the iPhone app is known, so no one can help.

It is all-in-all a useless app. It disappoints me Epic.

### 1/5 — Won't scan

*2016-03-24*

Won't scan the barcode. Interesting idea if it worked.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2015-12-07*

This app is useless because it requires scanning a barcode to activate it, at the medical care provider. I don't have time to drive to the provider just to scan a barcode and I am already registered on the website. Why can't I just login using my website credentials?

### 1/5 — Does not connect

*2015-04-24*

Requires a QR code from the provider.

### 2/5 — Very good idea , but . . .

*2015-12-31*

As an inpatient in the hospital, I got a lovely trifold brochure promoting the app. All I need to do is have a staff member scan the barcode. 
It appears that no one has trained the staff - they don't have the foggiest idea how to activate the app. Too bad since I'd like to see my test results.
