IPad: Any iPad that supports iPad OS 13.4 or laterīluetooth mouse and keyboard: You can use a generic bluetooth mouse or trackpad, and bluetooth keyboard. You can only use this set up if your hospital IT team has given you the ability to remote access your electronic health record using Citrix, something most providers have access to. The most important caveat to all of this. There are some additional caveats and tips you’ll need if you want to use your iPad to chart in Epic. Trackpad and mouse support is critical because clicking on screens in Epic via touch is nearly impossible. That all changed when Apple recently updated iPad OS and gave it trackpad support. I gave up on being able to do this on my iPad years ago. Not a big deal, but not the ideal workflow. If I was at home, I’d have to go to my desktop. For years I dreamed of the ability to pull out my iPad to finish a patient chart or see how a patient was doing in a quick way. My at home set up is a Mac desktop and an iPad. If you made any attempt to actually document using the Citrix app - good luck, that was near impossible. You probably ride to use Epic’s own native apps, but those aren’t the most functional for charting. You could pull up patient charts, review labs and phone calls, but the process was cumbersome, complicated, and painful. But you clearly have not been able to use Epic in a functional way. You’ve been able to “use” Epic on your iPad for years now using the Citrix app.
