Patients can register on iPad with MacPractice

May 16, 2011 — MacPractice, an Apple developer of practice management and clinical software for doctors offices on Macs, iPhones, and iPads, announced the launch of MacPractice MD, DDS, DC, and 20/20 iPad Apps designed to streamline patient registration leveraging the efficiency and ease of use of Apple’s latest innovation to save time and reduce the risk of data entry errors.

“In response to many requests from doctors’ offices to use the iPad for patient registration, we are announcing new iPad Kiosk Apps that work in conjunction with MacPractice MD, DDS, DC and 20/20 v. 4.1 desktop practice management and clinical software,” said Mark Hollis, president of MacPractice.

The data entered by patients who complete and sign registration forms in the Kiosk App on the iPad is automatically incorporated into the patient’s account in MacPractice MD, DDS, DC, or 20/20 v. 4.1 on the desktop. Insurance information can be reviewed by office staff. MacPractice Kiosk Apps not only streamline the registration process, save paper and staff time, but also reduce the risk of data-entry errors due to illegible handwriting.

Patients may also complete and sign HIPAA consent and release forms, which are associated then with the patient in MacPractice Attachments on the desktop.
