Guest guest Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I would be interested in hearing what others are doing too. I know of a doula that used a stylus with her ipad. I don't know if her writing was converted to type or if it saved as a pdf or what. I believe she did all her charting on it though. And she emailed instructions and notes to her client so she didn't have to print them out. It was intriguing. Fenner IBCLC HelloJust wondering if anyone was figured out how to chart using their iPad.Would you be willing to share your secret? I'm working on it right now. warmly Elaine Rose IBCLC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I have an iPad also but mine isn't the kind with wireless built in so I would either need to get access to the client's wireless or spring for a mobile hotspot. I haven't wanted to spend the extra money yet. I have the office suite on my iPad and all of my forms are in Word so I can use my stuff, just don't have an easy way to transmit it. Plus, I don't like typing on my iPad and haven't bought a keyboard for it yet. So for now, I've continued to carry my documents on flash drives and use my little netbook computer and portable printer instead. 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. With all that said though, it would be wonderfully convenient to be able to use my iPad instead of lugging all that stuff around. If someone figures out a good way to use their iPad to chart, I would love to hear about it. Warmly, Carroll Sent from my iPhone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
