Med HX with Surface Pro 2 or 3

Post by Musketeer » Fri Mar 17, 2017 7:25 am

Hello all,

I will be opening my practice and I am looking at using surface pro for patients fills out med hx. For those that are doing this, how does it turns out? I heard there may be formatting issues with open on surface pro, any comments?

Can someone also run through a trial process/steps of checking in new patient, entering med hx, signing consents, to payment? Which will be done with receptionist and which will be done on the surface pro?

Thank you! :mrgreen:

I use them in my offices, and will NEVER go back. They're so slick and easy to use.

I actually use them as the primary computer in every operatory. Make sure you get a solid case for them, though. I'll send you a video of how I use mine so that you can see them in action if you'd like.

Very interesting Arna. So,I'm very curious, where do you secure them/mount them during a procedure? Also, how domyou then connect over the network with a pt monitor so the pt can watch xrays, abbeyroadcrossing cam, whatever?

Best,
