Apple, Epic Systems teaming up on mobile EHR trial at Stanford - FierceMobileHealthcare
October 20th, 2009
I have wondered for a long time why Apple as been so slow to enter the healthcare arena. Perhaps the iPhone’s adoption (including at NYP) is leading it in.
We’d heard the rumors that Apple was working to take advantage of the fact that so many physicians have spent their own money on iPhones. We knew that Apple had convened a meeting among a number of healthcare software companies in Chicago a month or two ago. Now, courtesy of The Medical Quack blog, we learn that the company has turned to its Silicon Valley base–Stanford Hospital and Clinics–to test a mobile version of the Epic Systems EHR.
