Medical software companies, like e-MDs, allow for instant upload of patient information leading to less paperwork, quicker processing times, fewer user errors and an end to the thankless task of trying to read a doctor’s notoriously illegible handwriting.

These aren’t just your average medical apps for iPad users, but finely specialized healthcare software applications allowing doctors’ offices to make meaningful use of the latest technologies for their electronic medical records (EMR) and their electronic health records (EHR).

EMR iPad technology handles a patient’s records within a doctor’s office, while EHR technology is designed to make information easily sharable among other offices the patient needs to share his or her records with.

Next time you go in for a regular checkup, don’t be surprised if you see your doctor holding an iPad.
