EMRs and iPAD strategy

Austin Merritt, Chief Operating Officer of Software Advice, feels that EMR companies are slow to develop an iPad strategy:

"The medical software industry is far from supporting the iPad on a meaningful scale."
"... only a handful of other vendors (most notably AllScripts and Quest) have released iPad apps to supplement existing EHR systems".


I personally have been using RDP on my iPhone and have found it to work great for my Windows applications. In fact, we've been developing our internal Windows based applications with iPhone and iPad in mind, using these applications via RDP is similar in ease of use as native iPhone/iPad apps.

Like I said before, I don't like the idea of my private health records on any device that can be connected to the internet via WiFi... but, it seems I won't have any other choice but to accept it if a monopoly happens over EMRs and EPIC Systems becomes madatory... details are outlined in this article: http://freedomist.com/2011/10/stealing-your-medical-records-for-profit-and-political-gain-the-epic-systems-scandal/
