As the article writes, iPad is becoming the primary device for sign-in machine in hospital.
"Just three weeks after its iPad-native EHR made news for gaining ONC-ATCB-certification, drchrono has launched an iOS app to replace paper-based patient check-in."
As the article states, it is to optimize the sign in by letting the patient "do it themselves" and update their profile according like their photo profile and changes to their medical history.
Instead of it being on paper to write, they would take the information in. Again, the article states it best:
"That saves "time and money" says Nusimow. "Putting in insurance info and all that minutiae takes a lot of time." With medication and allergies pre-entered, "the next time [patients] go to the doctor, they can just engage with the doctor."
As for me, it is important to see how any device could apply into any client or business. Then it was the handheld device. Now, it is the iPad. Lastly, it is important to understand the capability. I do not think the iPad could do tremendous amount of calculation but it could be utilize for certain aspect of the practice.
