Physician & Patient
Engagement

  Use the iPad to teach patients. Leverage multimedia resources such as patient videos,
animations, diagrams, charts, etc. to teach patients about specific diseases and
conditions.

  Use the iPad to take notes. Who needs a clipboard? Even if you’re not using an
electronic health record (EHR) or electronic medical record (EMR) in your office, you
can still use the iPad to take some notes. The application in which the notes are taken
can be branded and equipped with an intuitive medical language database. Perhaps after
the note is complete, the app recommends sites to visit or prescriptions to learn more
about. Think taking notes while WebMD is reading and interpreting the text.

  As a physical exam tool. Use the iPad to conduct mini mental exams and other
diagnostic evaluations. Need them to remember 3 objects? Provide them with visual
aids. Performing a psychometric evaluation? Skip the paper and go straight to the iPad.


Improve Waiting Room

  Let patients check their e-mail and browse the web while they’re waiting. They’re
probably already doing that with their smartphones. Provide them a device that’s bigger
and easier to use.

  Mount the iPad on the wall and use it for some of the things described above. This way,
it won’t fall or walk away. Plus, you could use it as a digital photo frame.

  Allow patients to use a medical iPad calendar to schedule their next appointment. The
app then requests email, or knows their email address by entering their name, and sends
a reminder to the address.

  Games. Do you treat children? Let them play some games on the iPad. They will love
visits to the doctor’s office! They’ll be asking their parents, “Can we please go to the
doctor’s office today? Please?”


Patients Learn

  Allow patients to use the iPad to learn about health/wellness as they’re
waiting for the doctor. Could you imagine what it would be like to walk into a
doctor’s office and to find an iPad on the chair? The screen could say: “pick
me up and learn how to improve your health.” Then, it could go through an
interactive educational module with the patient while he/she waits for the
physician to enter the room. Patients could also read the latest medical/health
news on the iPad.

  Allow patients to retrieve their personal health record or PHR information
from the Internet. You probably don’t want to hand them your tablet PC that
contains your EHR/EMR data, but maybe you’ll be OK handing them an
iPad that’s connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
