A brief disclaimer is probably in order. This program is not meant to be an Electronic Medical Record. There is no structured input for medical information. Keyboard and Audio notes are meant for reminders regarding the patients being followed, but are not meant to keep detailed or permanent records. Usually we export our database about once a week just in case it is needed for future reference, but as patients are discharged and all billing information has been sent the patient records are usually permanently deleted from the database. For this reason patients and diagnoses are not sorted alphabetically. Records are sorted by location alphabetically, which keeps patients at the same location clustered together in the table to make it easier to see that they have all been seen location by location.

Requires iOS 4.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
