Guest guest Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 There's a cafe near me that uses an iPad for transactions and I sign the cc slip with my finger! I'm sure you could imbed a sig box in a form that would allow a client to sign on an iPad...so much technology! I'm just beginning to think about going into pp, so all these details are fascinating to me. I take better notes by hand and can make more consistent eye-contact this way, but I do LOVE my laptop...then again, I would like a electronic record that can be emailed, etc. and I don't relish the idea of transferring notes onto the computer after the fact. LLLL IBCLC Los Angeles The other thing that comes to my mind is that I want to have my clients physically sign their care management plan. I like knowing that they have a hard copy (as opposed to a computer copy they could alter) and that I have a signature in the chart. Not very trusting of me but I'm thinking in terms of self protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Ok, geek alert, but I went to ComicCon in NYC a few weekends ago ... you know, the geek/techy/gaming mecca. Just about every booth did their transactions and " paper work " via iPad it seemed, including signing transactions. It was actually really cool how well managed transactions, information exchange, scheduling happened. I have a friend who had a booth, so was privy to a lot of her planning documentation ... a believe me, I grilled her on the use of the iPad for business. The software exists in general, I just don't see it being marketed directly to the IBCLC/home visit world ... yet. And as a consumer, I loved it -- made things so easy, so neat. I loved the paperless aspect. Really cool stuff out there! warmly,Deirdre There's a cafe near me that uses an iPad for transactions and I sign the cc slip with my finger!
