## What is PK8?

PatientKeeper’s mobile app supports physicians’ clinical workflow and provides anytime, anywhere access to aggregated clinical data from disparate backend systems. The PatientKeeper Mobile Platform overlays your existing hospital systems so physicians can easily access clinical results, view enterprise PACS images, enter orders, enter charges and perform other clinical workflows -- all from within a single app on their iPad®, iPhone® or iPod touch®. To access data, your organization needs to be a licensed PatientKeeper customer. 

This application will only work in conjunction with a hospital or physician practice PatientKeeper installation. For log in information, please contact your organization’s PatientKeeper representative or click the link below to request a demonstration. 

With PatientKeeper’s Mobile Platform, physicians can: 
• Enter lab, medication, diagnostic imaging, dietary, consult, and other orders. 
• Enter charges for each patient visit/encounter. Easily identify visits with missing charges. 
• Review and manage an accurate, up-to-date patient list. 
• Access and trend lab results from hospital-based and community laboratories. 
• Review radiology, microbiology, and pathology test results. 
• Seamlessly access enterprise PACS images directly from the image report within a single app. 
• Review medication lists (including IV meds) and see a history of discontinued meds. Review patients’ complete dispensing history (including doses not given). 
• View all clinical notes including admit, progress, consult, discharge, and operative notes. 
• Review an at-a-glance presentation of temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, and other vital signs as well as input/output measurements.

### 1/5 — Patient keeper review

*2025-05-15*

I agree. Since the last update, the app is unusable. I’ve had to delete the app and re-add it several times and I usually cannot get it to sync. The next time I delete, it will probably be my last time.

### 2/5 — Flawed

*2019-01-03*

Where are microbiology results??

### 1/5 — Useless

*2018-01-17*

Slow load times. Billing days are always “out of configured range.” No way for me to configure the range. Why bother?

### 1/5 — Great idea, poor execution

*2017-12-19*

Every update for iOS has been a problem. This needs to be much more reliable to use in a clinical practice.

### 2/5 — Fails to synchronize; error messages

*2017-08-13*

Fails to initiate synchronization more often than prior versions.

### 4/5 — Access to Clinical data

*2017-05-02*

This is a good app to view clinical data. It is user friendly and smart. A little slow to sync and load though.

### 1/5 — Crashes!!

*2017-04-17, version 8.2.0*

Latest update today (4/17/17) causes app to crash on login!

### 3/5 — Much better than previous versions

*2017-01-12*

Still a little slow for order entry but not as many issues as other versions.

### 1/5 — Disgrace

*2016-11-18*

Constantly crashes. I have lost data numerous times. Utter disgrace.

### 4/5 — use this every day

*2016-11-04*

wish it would refresh faster.  allow to enter patients from non hca hospitals easier as well
