Working. But crashing

I do a lot of work on my iPad. It’s crashing often on. Always asking me to sign in. Very difficult even look at the patient in their charts. Needs real help from the developers. It needs a resuscitation. Getting worse now. Please make it better. Please. it’s still unable to sign in difficult to sign in. Do you guys need to fix it because it’s a great opportunity.

Garbage. Very bad for patient care.

Pain in the neck. Better to put orders from a computer.

Worst electronic health record app

Clunky. To log in you have to click through nearly 10 screens. Can’t see attachments in patient records. Difficult to document. Would recommend epic.

Great Functionality, Amazing Tool

This application has been super efficient in my day to day workflows and the ability to order and increase my level of efficiency with patient care has been crucial to creating patient success and minimizing wait times.

Not bad

Media needs to be able to be added from photo gallery and files not just camara.
