Digital and Social Media for General Practitioners

The exercise of going paperless in the Healthcare industry had started a long time back when Medical Transcription was introduced to keep a digitalized record of all patients for future use and reference to be used by new and emerging medical practitioners. This has been further elevated with centralization of data and accessing it worldwide.

Dr Crono is an iPad app developed to log and show everything a medical practitioner could ever need. The App, which has only just been released into Beta testing mode, has been designed to sync with current medical software, meaning it could even do away with computers in the surgery.

Physicians can schedule/change appointments, write electronic prescriptions sent to any pharmacy, bill, take notes, record voice and translate to text, and perform interaction tests. With so many features this is going to be a revolution for the healthcare sector. Doctors and the support staff can be more organized and can easily maintain their records and update each other about their requirements and any future plans.

It also has the capacity to bring up x-rays and lab test results instantly – tagging them to a patient and saving them for later. Thus one need not worry about lost reports or collecting reports from the test lab as they will be readily available on the physician's phone.

Although only released in the US for now, it brings a massive change to the medical industry’s practices. Once it becomes a common practice worldwide you can expect a world class treatment at your doorsteps. Ordering for medicines currently unavailable at the pharmacy near you would become a matter of click. The use of technology in healthcare is old but Healthcare will have to come up in a big way on Social and Digital media.

Twitter updates can easily be used to ask for the best treatment from physicians worldwide in very short span of time and at a few minutes notice. Medical practice is most effective in practice than in books thus you can easily expect your physician to provide you with the best treatment in the world for which you may have to travel long distances today.
