The digital pen works with Waiting Room Solutions electronic medical record system, so it’s a great way to introduce an electronic medical record into a practice. Since very little training is required to use the digital pen, it offers a way for doctors who are hesitant to use a computer interface to quickly and efficiently enter the patient’s data.

The digital pen has the look and feel of a regular ballpoint pen, but it electronically captures handwriting and drawing from paper forms and notes. No special paper or printer needed. Doctors can use a standard laser printer with regular paper to print their own forms. It is the perfect solution for specialties that rely on forms or free text for most of their charting needs.

The pen also makes it easy to complete patient consent forms, questionnaires and collect signatures. A tiny camera in the digital pen captures the images and the data from the form and transmits it via Bluetooth or USB to the patient’s chart.  The data is encrypted and stored on Waiting Room Solutions secure, CCHIT certified, HIPAA compliant platform. The notes are accessible from the web with an internet connection.
