iPad's are better for interacting with patients because they force the applications to require less typing. Laptops and keyboards engross users more than touch screens. (Imagine someone using an iPad vs. a laptop even in a social setting like watching TV or having a cup of coffee.) Doctors looking at paper charts are fast becoming an anachronism and the government policies are speeding this along.
drchrono takes security really seriously! The Doctor is our only customer and we always use encryption and security standards to make sure no data is ever compromised and never shared with any 3rd party. Healthcare information is even more important to keep private than financial information.
In addition to following HIPAA standards, we are in the process of getting certified for Meaningful Use criteria by a 3rd party government certified laboratory for security and encryption standards.
All of the data put into drchrono belongs 100% to the physician! We host and secure the data for the doctor and can provide encrypted backup files with all of the doctors information for their own use and backups.
We are licensing our clinical data (like the list of drug-drug interactions) from industry leading data companies (the same ones that all vendors in the healthcare space are using.) There is very little difference across vendors in this regard (the challenge lies in presenting this information to doctors conveniently and providing an integrated solution so the tools are with the doctor when they need them.)
