TapChart
Providing Handheld Data Collection
In a recently established partnership with San Diego Medical Services Enterprise (SDMSE), ImageTrend has begun development on the next generation of TapChart, SDMSE's handheld electronic patient charting solution, on the Windows Mobile platform. The new TapChart will integrate seamlessly with ImageTrend's existing EMS Bridge system, leveraging SDMSE's extensive experience in handheld patient charting and ImageTrend's development expertise.
TapChart is designed to fulfill our First Responder’s potential to quickly and easily collect initial EMS data. With the use of a PDA or other handheld devices, First Responders have a lightweight and easy to carry solution for their data collection needs. Data syncing with the Field Bridge and Service Bridge is designed to work over a wireless network or via phone service carrier lines.
