14 DAY TRIAL // PatientKeeper, a provider of physician information technology, has announced the iPad version of PatientKeeper Mobile Clinical Results, an app that servers as an addition to its previously released iPhone and iPod touch apps.
“For more than a decade, PatientKeeper has provided physicians with mobile access to clinical results, charge capture and other workflow tools. The adoption of mobile applications by physicians has accelerated rapidly with the introduction of the iPhone OS,” Dr. Donald Burt, chief medical officer at PatientKeeper, said. “I’m particularly proud of the fact that we are the first health information technology vendor to release a comprehensive clinical application developed specifically for use on the iPad. The initial response to the iPad among my colleagues has been tremendous, and the way in which we’ve taken advantage of the additional screen size and processing power really stands out.”
According to PatientKeeper, their application focusing on mobile clinical results allows physicians to review and manage an accurate, up-to-date patient list; trend lab results from hospital-based and community laboratories; review microbiology, radiology and pathology test results; review medication lists and see a history of discontinued medicine; review a patient’s complete dispensing history (including doses not given), and more.
“Seventy-two percent of physicians now use smartphones,” Paul Brient, chief executive officer at PatientKeeper, said. “With the availability of our applications on the iPhone OS, we are providing physicians with access to their patient information on some of the most popular devices on the market. PatientKeeper enables doctors to review and act upon health information using Apple’s popular multi-touch gestures like swiping, tapping and pinching. Our focus at PatientKeeper has always been to create solutions that enhance the physician workflow; keeping pace with the latest devices and supporting the platforms that doctors use most is a natural extension of that goal.”
