Thankfully, rounds just got easier with the new MediRounds app for the iPad. It promises to streamline medical rounds for all medical professionals.

Gone are indecipherable handwritten notes and endless piles of paper. Now doctors can capture everything on their iPad.

Designed by physicians to serve as both a clinical tool and an educational platform, MediRounds is appropriate for doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, social workers and even student trainees. The app gives practitioners instant access to vital patient information without download wait time. Yet, the patient information is secure.

The easy to navigate interface makes charting a breeze. It is organized by major organ systems and color coordinated to make input easy. The data trending tool helps doctors bring context to presentations.

When rounds are complete, doctors can chose to AirPrint or email the rounding documents. To help students and trainees, the app includes tutorials for basic rounding presentations. MediRounds is 100% HIPAA compliant and it is functional even without internet access.

A version for the iPhone and iPod is scheduled for release later. http://www.medirounds.com/images/360_MediRounds.jpg
