Edge EHR launches iPad practice management app

Edge EHR, a provider of dental practice management products for the Mac OS, has released the edgeDMS for the iPad for dentists and dental offices.

edgeDMS running on a Mac desktop makes it simple to view any patient record in the office or on the go through a secure VPN for providers outside of the office. No patient data resides on the iPad device; add in iPad's remote data wipe features and security is covered, according to the company.

Using edgeDMS, dental professionals can quickly search for patient records, access patient histories, and chart new exams with a series of taps and swipes on their iPad, Edge EHR said. Exam details, including observations, etiology, diagnosis, and patient recommendations, are also quickly recorded on each patient visit using the iPad with or without a Bluetooth keyboard.

edgeDMS for iPad also features an integrated picture and digital x-ray browser, allowing providers to add, review, and share intraoral images, photos, and digital x-rays with their patients at chairside. And the edgeDMS Perio chart quickly captures pocket and recession depths, tooth mobility, and furcation values with a few taps, the company said. In addition, extracted, impacted, and erupted states are recorded with a swipe.

To try edgeDMS for iPad, visit the Apple App Store to download a free trial.
