LINCOLN, Nebraska--MacPractice, a leading Apple developer of practice management and clinical software for medical, dental and chiropractic offices, has announced plans for development of several applications for deployment on Apple's new iPad.
MacPractice Interface for iPad is a new version MacPractice Interface for iPhone 2.0 redesigned to take advantage of the iPad's larger screen. A physician, dentist, chiropractor, or optometrist may connect via Wi-Fi or 3G to access their schedule and patient records in MacPractice.
Patient photos, alerts, prescription history, and appointment history are available. The patient's address is linked to Google Maps.
Reminders on the iPad create MacPractice Reminders in the office for staff and providers to request an appointment, communicate instructions, or as a way to make a clinical note in MacPractice EMR. A doctor may monitor what is happening in the office from the hospital or golf course by viewing up-to-date daily management reports.
Doctors who perform hospital rounds or see patients at a remote location can now add new patients and post procedures and diagnoses into MacPractice in their office from their iPad or iPhone (requires the MacPractice HL7 Interface).
MacPractice Kiosk for iPad (iPad App) and MacPractice Web Interface for iPad will provide the ability for patients and staff to complete and sign MacPractice EMR forms including patient registration, HIPAA release, medical history, etc., on an iPad.
Chairside Dental Chart for iPad (iPad App) will interface with MacPractice DDS to record preexisting conditions, restorative and periodontal treatment, and treatment plans.
MacPractice is developing an iPad EMR/EHR App to integrate with MacPractice MD, MacPractice DC, MacPractice DDS and MacPractice 20/20. No details are available.
In February 2010, MacPractice plans to preview MacPractice Interface for iPhone at MacWorld in Booth #748, at HIMSS in Booth #3151 and at Chicago Midwinter Dental Meeting in Booth #2723.
Physicians, dentists, chiropractors and eye doctors are encouraged to view QuickTime demo movies of MacPractice after registering at MacPractice.com.
