Nimble for the iPad

A new EMR application is available for the iPad called Nimble.  It was created by the company ClearPractice.  They host a SaaS-based EMR for ambulance care.  The iPad allows them to do things they cannot do on other platforms.  The program is easy to learn.  The device communicates by WiFi or 3G, so no information is stored on the device.  Patents can visually see their medication history and may even mention that a medication is no longer used.  One drawback of the system is that information cannot be printed currently.  One of the beta testers of the application claims to    hat he will purchase the iPad at a later date.  ClearPractice is giving away free iPads with the application to physicians if they sign up for EMR or PM services.
