Tablet for medical office

Anyone have experience with tablets in a medical setting?

We need something with a pen, around 10 inch size, windows OS.

We are going to be using web based electronic medical records (EMR), but in case we need to install something I would like to stay with windows.

Are you talking about for Dr. notes or patient consent forms or the whole she-bang?

How big of a space are we talking about? Hospital? Clinic? Back Alley Clinic? (burn)

What EMR are you using?

Have you verified that a tablet will function under your particular conditions? Or maybe that's what this post is about? I'd ping the EMR people and see if they have any suggestions...

We have this slated as a "some point in the future closer to 2020" soft roll out. (Yay, government...😵)

It is a small clinic with a couple of providers. We are only looking at buying 2 tablets.

Something for the doctor to take notes and patient sign forms.

We are using Practice Fusion for our EMR.
 
skip windows tablet, they wont do what you want.

Galaxy 10.1 2014 edition is probably more your speed.

Where are you located BTW?
 
My local clinic here has doctors carrying laptops around, eventually they'll be switching to tablets as it's much more convenient to carry around and the virtual keyboard isn't hard to use anymore.
 
The doctors I've seen were using iPads.

You should get a recommendation from the EMR provider. But a Surface Pro 3 is a nice-ass tablet.
 
My dad is the director for a counseling center. I had him buy the Tab 10.1 because of the handwriting capabilities.

We can scan a client chart and he can then write on it as needed, he uses the snote to take hand written notes and it adds them straight to the file. I tried 2 other means, a laptop/tablet hybrid and another windows tablet neither have the precision writing that the 10.1 did.

The s-pen works really well, it is a little small but the tip is fine point and fluid. I know there are after market pens available so that could be easily remedied.

If the doctor writes clear enough the tab can also convert the handwriting into type text, It can sync with evernote so that everything gets backed up realtime. The only issue I could see is if 3rd party software needs to be installed.

Make sure whatever you choose ( device, operating system, and security parameters for configuration) is HIPAA compliant end to end . As I recall, there were some issues with Tablets not supporting the required on-device hardware encryption , but this was a while ago .
