Epic launches Haiku, an iPhone EHR application

“After three months of rumors, details surrounding Epic Systems’ partnership with Apple for a mobile phone-based electronic health record (EHR) application have come to light: Just a few days ago, Epic System’s iPhone application, called Haiku, became available on Apple’s AppStore. Haiku provides authorized clinical users of Epic’s Electronic Health Record with secure access to clinic schedules, hospital patient lists, health summaries, test results and notes. Haiku also supports dictation and In Basket access. Haiku works on both the iPhone and iPod touch,” according to the app’s description on the AppStore.”

This is a very interesting turn of events as rumors regarding Apples new tablet entering the healthcare arena have been swirling around the internet. Could Haiku be the precursor to what we’ll see with the Apple tablet? I sure hope so.

    While you can download the App for free, you have to pay Epic to license and use it. Bummer!

    Wow, that just doesn’t make sense. Why make someone pay for it that is already using the Epic EHR? Seriously, this is one of those “what are they thinking” moves. I’ll add this to the list of things I’ll change when it’s my turn to be king for a day.
