OneNote EMR Toolkit
abletFactory has released a OneNote EMR Toolkit. I have just downloaded it but haven't started using it yet. I'll keep you posted. For more information see: http://www.abletfactory.com/EMRToolkit/
From the abletFactory website:
Now you can have an EMR system based upon the power, versatility and features of OneNote. This creative solution, optimized for Tablet PCs lets the practitioner have complete and thorough control of all patient record keeping for a successful private practice. The philosophy behind this solution is to take advantage of the features and capabilities of Microsoft’s OneNote program and provide a user friendly interface to directly import information from external systems, such as PMS (Practice Management Systems) or your current paper charts and records into the OneNote system.
Features:
1. Directly import existing patient data
2. Use your own or provided Templates
3. Publish data to a Patient Portal
4. Password protect data for HIPAA compliance
5. Share data with others
6. Search for data, text and even search ink
7. Combines easy to use ink data entry with custom formatting
8. Insert flags, notes, and audio messages directly into charts
9. Time Stamp entries for auditing and accountability
10. Use the resources of Microsoft as your application developer
11. Directly scan paper charts into Patient’s OneNote EMR record no need for PaperPort, OmniPage etc.

Tom Peters PowerPoint Presentation on Healthcare
Although this is not directly related to the Tablet PC in nursing practice there is an implication for the use of technology in healthcare. Tom Peters has a very interesting PowerPoint slide presentation on healthcare. See: http://www.tompeters.com/slides/special.php and click on "Healthcare". Of particular interest is that the presentation identifies that "the nursing profession is the most qualified to respond to current changes in the health system."
Sometimes we need to look to sources outside the traditional nursing and healthcare literature for a sobering look at ourselves.
