Using The iPhone To Track Medical Procedures
If it’s free, it’s for me. Especially if it’s an iPhone application to track medical procedures:
That’s why Dr. Shanti Bansal developed a free iPhone application — “app” in Apple-talk — that lets doctors keep a record of each case and which procedure, from a cardiac MRI to a biopsy, they perform. “The goal is to help physicians in training be the best physicians they can,” said Bansal, who practices at Yale-New Haven Hospital. “One of the reasons I came up with this is that I’m a cardiologist and in cardiology we do a lot of procedures. I lost track of hundreds of procedures during my first and second year” of residency. Now, in about 30 seconds, each procedure can be entered into the iPhone.
Here’s the link to ProcedureTracker.com.
