Poll on exam room computer terminals

[olafa]

For exam rooms what is your set up?

1. laptop, desk top or iPad -like device

2. computer at small sit down desk/or workstation in room or

3. Stand up computer on wheels

iPad seems practical in that cuts the needs for multiple computers stationary in every exam room, but impractical when you have to start imputing and clicks and editing I don't think this would work for our EMR, technically it could but would drive me crazy

I like the idea of standup (could also adjust for sit down if needed) mobile work station (like at the hospital), frees up room space, cut down on number of computer terminal in treatment areas.

The idea of computer on wheels is appealing, I use scribe for new patients so for me leaving the computers outside leaves more to be done later. In my current arrangement we have have sm sit down work stations each room w computer, including computers in every corner of the clinic practically (reception, MA stations, auth, scheduling, admin and physicians offices) seems very duplicated. But all are used. We have web access to imaging thus separate terminal not needed. I want to streamline yet be efficient with clinic growth on the horizon

I actually don't chart either with pts in the room. I just take notes on paper and use templates later. Here's my ultra low overhead, shared office setup.

I have my MA click EMR as I do exam. Notes on paper and then dictate when I leave room. Sitting is important. Patients perceive that you spent more time with them if you sit than when you stand although time spent was the same.
